Hey afn09556,
I just tried it on my desktop computer and it still doesn't work.  The desktop computer has the following specs:
Manufacturer: ACER
Processor: Pentium 4 2.4GHz
Memory: 1024MB

Does anybody know of a good free CAD program that's similar to AutoCAD that I can download and try?
Thanks.

Oh and i tried turning Hardware Accelaration off on the desktop computer but still didn't work.

Hi, Dre

The DXF file I sent Works for sure.

I'll think on it tonight sea-ya tomorrow Pm.

Try setting in windows, system, advanced, performance, settings, advanced, processor scheduling, to Background

In early LasyCam there was a DLL file that was missing that caused problems also, I'll think on it tonight, also.
 
Sorry we havent got you working yet.!! Thanks Chip

What ver of Mach3 and LazyCam are you using, Check under, Help, About

Hey there,
I just found out the problem lol.  Well sort of anyway.  I was using the LazyCam downloaded alone without Mach3.  But when I installed Mach3 and used the LazyCam that comes with it, everything worked fine.  I don't know if you're supposed to need Mach3 for it to run properly or if theres just a bug.  Well thank you very much for your help and time.  I really REALLY appreciate it.

Hi, Dre

I thought it was stand-alone, it may like the folder name Mach3.

Glad you got it working, Chip
