    Default PC keeps telling me Mach4 is already running.... and it's not.

    Greetings,

    I am trying to get Mach4 running with an AVID CNC CRP4824. If I quit Mach4 and try to restart it, it tells me that mach4 is already running. I did some research and it looks like most operators have concluded it's a LUA script running in the background. One individual posted this powershell script (It does not work)

    Get-Process | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "Mach4GUI" } | Select-Object -First 1 | Stop-Process

    Has anyone encountered this VERY annoying problem? Restarting my Windows 7 laptop every time is annoying. I miss mach3.

    Try opening task manager and killing the Mach4 threads that are still running.

    Thanks for the reply

    I opened the task manager but Mach4 isn't listed as running.
