I am evaluating Mach3 on a Vista machine. I don't have a CNC attached at this time, so I am trying to get familiarized with the applicaton in general. Mach application seems to be running fine, I can load and run nc files for debugging, and when I call my editor (CNC Syntax Editor) and edit the file and save it, I reopen and verify changes have been made. I then try to load that new file, but Mach will only recall the original version.
I notice that Mach is using dos 8.3 naming, and wonder if that is why the saved version is not being recognized by vista. In looking at the registry, I found: "NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation REG_DWORD 0x00000000 (0)". I dont know wether a value of "0" means that disable is enabled or enabled.
This is a no-go for Mach3 for me if there is no cure, but I am likely just missing something. Can anyone provide a solution for this problem?
Thanks and regards,
Roger
