When I goto load Mach 3 the computer locks up and I can not do anything. This happens when it tried to take control of the parallel port. I ran the driver test and all is good until it takes control and it freezes everything. I have also tried the "special" driver that comes with Mach3. Any ideas?

| Going to try win 2k and see how that works out. Might have to run EMC2 but would rather run MACH if I can. Changing the motherboard is not an option.
