error message from Mach3 after ver23 upgrade

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After upgrading from bobcad ver21 to 23, I am receiving error message from Mach3.
A window named Mach3 Scripts. reads, Error on line: 2-Unspecified failiure.
When I click ok The second window named M3.m1s-Mach3 VB script E...reads, Do spin CW () set rpm...

I was able to pinpoint the problem to the lines of code regarding spindle control.(by deleting them)
Is there a setting in Mach 3 that makes it ignore the spindle command?
I only got a manual router.
When using profiling with multiple pass, I receive the error and need to reset on every pass .

I think I ve finally fix my problem.
Check the Disable spindle relay checkbox under Relay control /ports and pins/config/mach3

You shouldn't be getting this error, whether the spindle is enabled or not. In the folder \Mach3\macros\yourprofile, openM3.m1s in Notepad and see what the contents are.
It should just be:

DoSpinCW()

Make sure there's nothing else in it.

What version of Mach3 are you using?
