The version I am running is R3.042.037.
Is the a more resent version if so were do I down load it and do I have to pay?

Hi Mike,

You can download the most recent version of Mach3, (completely free of charge  :) ) from here;  http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/

and Yes it will run on XP or Win7.

Tweakie.
PEACE

The screenset should work fine on that version.

Your Mach3 license is good for all versions of Mach3. The latest version is here, but I actually use an older version than you are using (I think 3.042.020 or .029)

If you are using the parallel port, you'll need a 32 bit version of Windows 7.

I have a spare computer with nothing on it excepted windows XP I down loaded my Mach3 but when I put the 2010 screen set in I don't get full graphics.

What do you mean by "full graphics". If backgrounds are missing, the screenset is installed in the wrong place.

Re-installing **should** fix it, IF there's a problem. but I can't guarantee that it will, or that it won't make it worse.

Where should the screenset be installed?

Wherever your Mach3 folder is. It's sometimes easy to install it in Mach3\Mach3\ if you don't pay attention during the install.

You should have a Mach3\bitmaps\2010\ folder. If you don't, the graphics won't be displayed.

Thank you, the computer in the workshop went bust yesterday when I tried to install the updated Mach3, as I thought some thing is corrupt on the drive, So I am stating again with a new/old computer.
