No that is probably the driver test that is included with the lockdown version which I presume you are using. Try the special driver, you will find it in the Mach 3 folder, just double click on it and then try the drivertest again.

Thanks Hood, but...

Just did that and ran the drivertest and it said, "installed, reboot" I rebooted.

I ran drivertest and when it "took over" I get nothing in the output window.

I ran Mach3 and set the spindle to PWM and now the Base freq is staying at 5000, so that's some sort of progress.

I have checked the Help pdf and that has not helped. This is an new computer with 2.4G core 2 duo, 2G memory, award BIOS and APIC shows as detected in the test. I am using win2000 Pro.

Have a look in device manager and see if the pulse engine is installed there.

To make matters worse, when I clicked Exit from the dead drivertest,it is still attached to something as I am getting a serieds of momentary delays in windows minimizing. I will have to reboot damn it.

It takes about two seconds and 20 jumps to minimize any window.

GGrrrr.

This what you mean?

Don't you ever sleep?

Yep and nope but I am just going ;D
Well certainly seems like its installed, just for kicks try double clicking the normal driver (in Mach3 folder again) and see if it works this time.
