screen4 can´t load screenset )-:
« on: September 01, 2010, 04:26:16 AM »
need help....- after installing a new motherboard,
I can´t install or use screen4 any more... 
Can open the screen4 program and locate the screen....set file,
but the functional screen.set does not open in screen4 - instead
I see one small message window with yellow exclamation mark  sign...
than the screen4 surface stalls - i have to kill it in the windows xp system...

any hints?
would be glad to get it working again ((-:

thanks
timmi ???

Go to Defaults menu and point to the Mach3 folder.

Gerry, what does Screen4 need from the Mach3 folder?  I'd like to install Screen4 on my thumbdrive so I can work on screensets during my lunch hour, on a PC without Mach installed.  Copying over my *set and birmaps folder doesn't work so I figure something else is missing.  I haven't been able to find the answer here in the forums, maybe I'm searching wrong...

Thanks,

Randy

Randy,

I "think" it needs the screen 4 xml file as well.

Yes, just loaded the Screen4 xml, the screen 4 program and the bitmaps folder and it loaded right up.

I think you'll also want:
buttons.txt
DROs.txt
and
Leds.txt

It would appear that these are lists for predefined objects.
I would think that the .xml would create itself when running Screen4, since it doesn't come with the download, and there's no installer.
