Hi All,

I was in need of re-imaging my CNC PC with a fresh copy of Windows 10 due to some USB driver issues. Planning ahead to make this as painless as possible, I created an "installation" USB that had all the .exe files I needed as well as any documents that needed to be transferred.

To set up Mach 4 again, I downloaded a new .exe file and copied my profiles, screensets, and modules to the USB drive. I also downloaded new copies of the ESS plugins and Warp 9 SCU.

When the imaging was complete, I installed Mach 4, copied my profiles into the profiles folder, screensets into the screens folder, modules into the modules folder, and plugins into the plugins folder. When I opened Mach, I was disappointed to find that all of my settings under Control and Plugins -> Warp 9 ESS were completely blanked out. I thought the settings would be transferred with the profile.

Fortunately I made screenshots of all the configuration screens so it won't be much work to redo them, but what did I do wrong? How do you transfer the settings?

Thanks,

Mike

Hmmmm......Every time I install a new version of Mach4 I rename the old Mach4Hobby directory to something memorable and install from scratch and copy my old stuff in just like you did. I've NEVER had to reconfigure. So I don't know what to tell you!!

Yeah, I do the same. Have a custom profile for my machine with all the settings and such. Thought it should just copy over no big deal?

Have you tried loading your profile from one of the backup machine.ini files? Should still be there in your profile's backup folder if you copied the entire profile folder.
