hi there,
i have some troubles which i hope you nice people out there can solve with me. i run mach3 under windos7 32bit. from time to time my computer freezes.
about my setup:
there are no background processes running - no antivirus, no network, no wireless,....
i did install the memoryoverride suggested for vista.
(1)
i deleted and unistalled mach3 from my machine including the mach3 pulse driver and did a reboot.
as i do not have a internetconnection on my cnc computer i did download the newest mach3 version on another computer. i did put it on a usb stick but when i try to install the new version on my cnc computer i get an error "a decompression error has occurred - file crc mismatch - data integrity error". i do not know what to do about this.
meanwhile i installed an older version of mach3 (which came with the controlboard). this installed ok.
(2)
my controllboard (TB6560) manual tells me to set mach3 on 35000hz what i did set. the driver test shows me 25000hz. am i missing something or is this ok. set this way driver test tells me that mach3 is under control and the performance is excellent - a nice line with very few very small spikes.
i read through the forum about the freezing topic and did all the suggested i have my parallelport set in the bios to bidirectional (EPP), i did uncheck "load startup items" in msconfig, did the vista patch and am running a clean windows7 32bit. it would be really great if somebody can help as i really want my machine reliable in working without me standing next to it.
have a nice day!
