Mike, i appreciate your feelings about an outdated os and keeping the same system on all machines. But, you won't see the os on a working pc and there will always be a version of xp available from somewhere, even if it's only a set of working codes to register.

XP is proven to be exceptionally effective as an os for Mach3, and you're not going to get any infection or security issue as the computer would not be internet connected....or would it.?

Let's hope that win 7 becomes the next xp, but atm xp seems to dominate.

quite possible, as it needs to save to the original and doesn't have the access. Try transferring the file to the gcode directory in the machine computer and running it from there.

you may get an error if use the save command from the menus using notepad. After you edit the code click on the exit button (red box in the top right hand corner of the screen) and the save prompt will appear. Click save and it will exit to the mach screen with the alterations saved.

This may not be the problem you have, but try it.
