hey guys, im using basic old school style lathe screensets in mach3, with cs/labs on a PC with windows 7 pro 64-bit.
About 70% of the time when i load G-code it freezes as soon as tool path graphics is finished loading, and its bar graph pop up window goes away. I get a "not responding" error from windows and Mach3 completely crashes, have to restart.
The 30% of the time it does load, system runs great though.
Any ideas or pointers?

witch Version of Mach3 are you using?

Version R3.043.066

try to use 043.62 or even 043.22 witch is recomended by CSLAB.

patched 043.62: https://www.machsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Mach3Version3.043.exe

043.22: ftp://anonymous:guest@ftp.machsupport.com/Mach3/Mach3Version3.043.022.exe

thank you, ill give it a shot and kee pyou posted

Well, i gave it a go, but no such luck. Still freezes.
I did notice 1 additional thing though. It only does it if im on a screen that displays tool graphics (auto or manual)
If i do it from the opening screen works everytime without flaws.
Any other ideas? im using the basic 1024.lset screens

can you post your gcode for a test?

Here is the G-code, machine finally gave me an error msg "art code 709" no description. Rebooted system, no error codes but it would still freeze up when graphics are near loaded. As a wild idea i reloaded the 1024.lset file and it started loading without freezing, but then it did something else odd. on the line of code "X.585" it repeats it for a large amount of times. attached pics. any words of advise?

pls post the complete file.
