I think "Driver Dectective" analyzes the system, and gets the correct driver. It has a page showing all the specs of my computer. My install is 32 bit. The box had (2) CD's, 32 and 64 bit. I understand Mach3 only runs on 32 bit Windows. My version is Win7 Pro, which I chose to take advantage of the Virtual XP, in order to run an older BobCad, v.17. Also, I like the idea of backing up the HD, to a portable USB HD. Apparently, it makes an image of the HD. Very simple to plug it in, click backup, and walk away for 20 min.
The "Driver Detective" website has something called the "Cloud." It will look at all the drivers on your system (when everything is working OK of course), and create a CD with everything on it. Sounds pretty slick.
The operative word is "Time!"
However, it is a great feeling when it all finally works!
