Mach3 under Vista / Re: Driver stops responding?
« on: May 08, 2019, 03:19:18 AM »
1. The latest patched version is Mach3Version3.043.062(+Win 10 1803 patch) but on the
NFS download site it is just labelled as Mach3Version3.043.exe. That is the most stable version.
2. Is the parallel port set to EPP 1.7 at the BIOS?
3. Since the Parallel port is likely to be 3.3V version (because ITX motherboard with Atom CPU is power saving low voltage type), Can you try increasing the Step pulse to 15 and Dir pulse to 5 in motor tuning? If it works well then try decreasing to 10 and test again.
4. Screen saver - set to none. Windows sound set to none.
5. Disable Windows Update and superfetch services.
6. Do you have a dedicated VIDEO card with at least 32MB ram? If not, you may have to turn off tool path display.
