Hi tere!
I have a milling machine runnign Mach2 under XP for years. The PC was stolen so I purchased a new one, XP is no lobger available here so I bought Windows 7 starter
I installed Mach3 using the Vista instructions I found on Mach´s site. Everything owrked well, for a while, and then the motors started to loose steps and make strange noises.
It does not happen all the time. If I start Mach3 and do some jogging only, it works. But after I load and execute some g-code the problems start again.
I tried to swicth Mach3 versions, installed aditional LPT boards, change ALL parameters. It improve but the problem allways happen sometime.
Is Mach3 compatible with W7? Do I need a special version? Do I need to buy an XP machine?
Please help!
Thanks in advance
Alex
