Hood Thanks

I went and printed out the optimisation file and it worked great.

I was also told by someone at work that Mach 2 works better then 3 he said there are still bugs in 3  is this true

Thanks again Joe

I have run the drive test and it locks up.  But I reinstalled mach and the drive test still locks up but Mach 3 still runs  but I am havinfg a hard time calibrating it to the machine maybe it could be the computer is just not fast enough.
I will work on it  I am just trying to keep from having to move this computer in there to run it and then lose the internet
Thanks

I guess this is why it is a hobby

General Mach Discussion / Mach 3 setting up

« on: May 27, 2006, 01:15:45 PM »

I am just setting up my cnc system  I have a computer that I got to run mach 3  I installed xp on it to try it.  it is the processer is an AMD 1300 Duron  Now I have not got the ability to hook to the internet  But when I try to run Mach 3 I get an engine initailazation air.  I have not installed any thing but Mach 3 on it.  So do I have to be hooked to the internet to install it or is the processor the problem.
