I run a Mori Seiki SL-204 two axis lathe with Mitsubishi MSG-805 control. For the most part the machine runs well. I am writing to ask about a unique problem that I have with the control. Pressing certain buttons will cause the software to crash (this is NOT A MACHINE crash). I'm using the term software but I guess it is technically the machine's operating system.

If I go to the OFFSET page I can see the Geometry, Wear and Work Shift page. If I try to go into the Setup page (the button next to the Work Shift page) the machine OS will crash and I'll be in DOS. Also, if I try to go into CAPS (button next to OFFSET) the OS will crash to DOS as well. When I get kicked to DOS the screen displays a message:
SYS1808:
The process has stopped. The software diagnostic code (exception code) is 009A.
[C:\GOP3]_


I can only assume that 'under the hood' one or more files that the machine's OS uses is corrupted. Is there a way to fix this?
