    Mach3 downloading problem

    I am having trouble downloading Mach3. It is an older computer 996mHz. I tried saving to the desktop and the file size is only 254kb which only took a micro second and that seemed odd. That file also won't run.

    I tried downloading legacy Mach programs and that worked fine.

    Any suggestions out there?

    Thanks,
    Pat

    I would try to re-download the lock down version, could just be a bad copy

    Thanks Rockcliff,

    I tried downloading again and it worked. Now I am trying to get the "reset" to stop flashing. I just click it on my other computer running a Gecko stepper
    machine and it stops flashing. It doesn't have an Estop button/system. I sort of recall when I frst set it up I had to do something special, but my memory is lacking (getting old). Maybe I shuld check out the manual.

    Thanks,
    Pat

    Rockcliff,

    I searched for "reset problems" and ger21 had the answer. Set the estop config to active low. That is what I had to do before.

    Thanks Rockcliff and ger21 for all the great info in this forum.
