Unfortunately CNCMogul / Gryphon / et.al. has the reputation of supplying pirate software. http://cncmogulsucks.com/

Before we proceed you need to check with Artsoft licensing http://www.machsupport.com/contact-us/ that you do indeed have a genuine Mach3 license.

You will also need to check with Vectric http://www.vectric.com/company/contact.html that you have a genuine License for Aspire.

I will give you a reasonable time period to confirm the license situation.

Thanks, will try that.
Just to be clear, it is not the PC that gets stuck, rather the table loses position and moves to some odd place.

Ahh - that's a different problem - I thought it was the PC that stopped.

Before going further could you please check with Licensing http://www.machsupport.com/contact-us/ to verify that you are using a genuine Mach3 license.

Just a shot in the dark but it could be that your graphics card is struggling (as can happen with long Gcode programs). Try running your Gcode program with the ToolPath switched off (Diagnostics screen) and see if that cures the problem. If it does then perhaps upgrade your graphics card (more ram).

Hi Guys,

Welcome to the forum.

As this is really just an introduction thread you need to post your questions as a new topic in the general section for it to receive maximum exposure to the hive mind.

ok if it so, some of my post's have to live with my special type of Bavarian english.

No problems Thomas, your English is just fine (a million times better than any of my second languages).

General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 issues on Windows Xp! Please help!

« on: April 18, 2015, 11:51:45 AM »

Sorry, I do appreciate the language differences.

Mach3 (in particular the parallel port driver) takes liberties with the Windows operating system and some PC's just can't handle it. My best advice is to try another PC.

Well, all I can suggest is that your PC is either running background tasks or something but it seems that particular PC is not up to running Mach3 within Windows XP as it stands.

Hi Thomas,

The forum sets a time limit on modifying what we have posted.

It was not always like this but some members abused the system - modifying their previous postings, in the light of hindsight, which then made others subsequent posts nonsensical.

If you need anything in a previous post changing please contact a moderator who can do it for you if the change is justified.
