Rc, hopefully somone else will chime in here but I have found that those shortcuts point directly to the loader.

I don't think you can restore those unless you do a reinstall

Here's the downloads for your motherboard. Unfortunately they don't give you a direct link as you have to go through the 3 menus.

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

Select:

Motherboard, then Socket 478, then P4SP-MX.

I would grab the latest drivers and download them and then go into device manager and go under the video section and update the driver you just downloaded.

Indeed it is addictive, Brett.

What sucks is I have a family and 2 jobs so it's so hard to get a lot done with it but I'm hoping having these little cnc's will create more time for me

.........ahhhh...who am I kidding, it's only going to allow me to make MORE parts (read "work") 

Thanks,
Dave

What pc did you buy, RC?

Possibly some more info about it?

Could it be possible that the on-boards graphics driver is not loaded?

Show"N"Tell ( Your Machines) / Taig CNC Lathe: First Run...

« on: September 20, 2008, 08:27:52 PM »

Ok, so as most of you know, I've been putting together my first little CNC from scratch. Well, maybe not scratch as I started off with a Taig "manual" Micro lathe and put together a little piece of art - 

I'm still very much learning about all this and need to learn a LOT more before I'm making any useful parts with it. It needs to be fitted with home/limit switches and other assorted schtuff but I'm getting there slowly but surely.

As for the video, I have no idea what I'm doing so bear with the editing and all that crap.... lol!

All in all, I'm seriously happy so far with what I've got and I promise to get some nice still pics of the unit and explain more about it later.

When are you going to start writing something for the Mill portion of Lazcam?
Can't just sit back after learning it and not share that knowledge with dummies like me.
  RiCH

lol! you're kidding right?

Seriously though, wasn't there a German manual for LazyCam? I posted a message on the yahoo forum asking about it and possibly it can be translated? I'm not German but possibly we could get by with an online translater?

I know they're not great but just a thought?
