Ah, that makes sense about the 'enabled' part and is apparently unrelated to why my config menu is gone.

I don't have that field you mentioned indicating which screen it is.
BUT
I saw numerous differences in the machine.ini under the "ESS" section, so being pretty sure it was just setting up the pins / signals / motor controls I opened the physical control box up and watched a few videos on configuring mach 4 with ESS.
With the help of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftIE_M-NNLE I managed to get it to move on one axis with the onscreen jog control. So looks like it's all just configurationing from this point.
Still my life would be much easier if I could just open up that config menu on the old one.
