No, it's not moving too far. It seems like the FRO is 6.00 no matter what. Even though I manually enter 1.0 and even thogh my Gcode is 1.0. Units is correct, none of my steps per unit have changed. Motors will stall on a rapid move. I'm getting a rapid of 55 which is way high for my system. I'm at my wits end here. All I can think to do is a new install and start from scratch. I've changed various setting but nothing seems to work. Any idea what the configuration file name is? Maybe it's corrupted. It seems like it's related to the spindle speed setting somehow but I don't use Mach to control my spindle. I keep getting these two errors in the error file:
interpreter: cutter radius compensation off
Spindle Feedback too low for Feedrate Calc. Feedrate set to .1
If I MDI S1, the feed changes but not for the better.
Here's a clip from the error file

ETA: I've been running Mach2 for several years now on a laptop. Haven't had any issues with it, haven't done anything exotic with it. Other than the normal port settings, backlash comp, etc. It's been run with default settings. I configured my 4th axis this weekend to engrave a piece of tubing as a test, I did a simple search & replace substituting A for Y axis and it worked perfectly. There were no IJ commands in the Gcode. I took a graphic file and posted the g-code from it and repeated the test. The code was full of IJ commands whcih didn't sit well with Mach2 when I did the A for Y substitution. Frankly, I didn't notice the IJ commands right off. Anyway. the controler went a bit crazy driving the mill, the Y axis was moving when there wern't any Y's in the code. ANd the other axis were not moving correctly for the geometry. Anyway. I called that experiment quits because I had real work to do and here I am. All I can figure is something got corrupted.

I'd do a fresh install but it would be a royal pita to set all the ports, backlash etc. Any ideas? I've tried running the same jobs that I've run previously, and all exhibit the speed up issue.
