Hello and welcome to the forum. The subject of your post referenced a blue screen crash - at what point did that happen? By the way, unless you have a special controller for your motors Mach software must have a real parallel port on the PC. USB to parallel port converters will not work.
the screen locked up when i tried to shut down computer. this has only happened after i downloaded mach3. is it possible to uninstall and reinstall
without the driver and use as a test program.?
Yes, it is possible to install without the driver. See if you can fix the CPU speed by disabling any battery conservation option it might have. Also, be sure to wait a minute or two after quitting Mach before you turn the PC off or put it in any stand-by mode. The engine remains running for a few seconds after Mach unloads.
