I dusted off an old xp machine to run my cnc router. When I installed the mach 3 software, it installed ok, but I cannot get the reset button onscreen to shut off, so I cant do anything else. Any advice?
Thanks, John

Go to Config > Ports and Pins > Input Pins, and toggle the active low setting for the Estop input.

I have had a similar problem to where I could not access any of the controls. The problem was (and still is) is that there is a dialogue box open but it is hidden by the Mach 3 Window. To resolve the issue I need to open and close another window (File Explorer or similar) and the Dialogue Box is then brought into view. I still have this issue but it is overshadowed by a current problem.
The dialogue Box being open but not accessible is problematic as the focus is on the open box and not on the Mach3 Window.
Hope this helps
Regards
Keith
