Hi - still no go. Can't get any movement from the mill after reinstalling Mach 3 on the new PC. Here is what I've done so far - I suspect I am missing something that is quite easy to deal with, since I am new at this. To refresh - objective is to move my Mach 3 license from an old Win XP computer (Mach3 was locking up on that PC) to a new PC running Win 7 32 bit. Since the mill does not move when I press the appropriate keys on the keyboard, following suggestions on the forums:
1) I uninstalled Mach 3 and reinstalled
2) Right clicked driver.exe and ran as admin
3) Rebooted
4) Ran driver.exe again
5) Copied mach3mill.xml and mach1lic.dat files from the old PC to the new PC
6) Old PC that Mach3 locks up on: Win XP SP3
New PC Win 7 32 bit. Nothing on the PC but Mach3
7) Parallel port connection to controller
when I start Mach 3, click Reset, turn on the controller, turn on the mill -- I press the Z axis keys on the keyboard - no response
Thanks in advance for any help!
