Hi Brian,
In the Mach3 folder on your computer there is a driver test application that you can use to check to see if Mach3 is contolling the system etc. Just execute that driver test file and it will tell you when Mach3 has taken control etc. I had some minor problems with my first installation not remaining in contol or I would have to try the test a couple times before Mach3 would get control. I removed a wireless Lan card and got rid of some unnecesary applictions that were loading at bootstrap and it seemed to improve the Mach3 control on my system. Hope this helps in some way.
