Hi All,

I've been working with Mach3 2.00x (currently 2.007) building a pendant and working with my macropump.

Recently, Mach3 has been throwing a lot of exceptions at startup with the first window showing Error Triggered -- Art Code; 1, Attempt Recovery?, and then 9991 in a new but similar dialog with the same yes/no buttons. This has been happening on both the CNC machine and my do-all workstation (which has no macropump.m1s, nor is the Mach3 driver loaded)

After click OK or Cancel I then get an OS error dialog titled Mach4 CNC Application error (Tell Microsoft about this problem yada yada). I then click to see what the error report contans and I get the AppName: Mach3.exe, ModName: msxml3.dll. When I close the dialog, Mach immediately closes.

Indeed, I am unable to successfully open Mach3 on the workstation as I write this after many attempts. But on the CNC machine, I can usually get Mach3 to open after one or two Art Code 1 & 9991 failures. It do not see any repeatable pattern on the CNC machine. The only way I have been able to solve this problem on the workstation is reinstalling Mach3 into a fresh c:\Mach3 folder.

Any ideas on what this could be?

Thanks,

David

There was a problem with the bitmap buttons that could have caused the problem that you have. when the new version is out please test it and see if it helps.

If not send me the macro pump code and I will test it here.

Gday,
I have been using Mach 3 for quite some time now with no problems untill today when I get the error 9991.
What is the problem and how can I fix it ?

cheers

I get the Art code 9991 (From Today) when I try to tune the motors!!!

What is happening and how do I fix it??

has anyone figured out what causes this "art code 9991" error, thanks.....

I think the only one that really knows what causes this is Art himself but it is a file corruption which can be resolved by re-installing Mach and re-installing any plugins used.

Tweakie.
