Makes complete sense really after reading M_C post. Mach didn't see a signal so didn't sync so didn't continue.
Why Win7 worked could be down to not having the PP driver installed.? But i'm guessing. Or it could have had the Index input active other way around.?
Anyway I've got to ask this because my limited brain power can't figure it out.? . . Whats "PFM".?

There are quite a few functions in Mach3 that rely on the parallel port driver to work correctly. Without the parallel port driver or a motion controller, you may not get a proper simulation when in "simulation mode".

Thank you for your knowledge on the subject, am still puzzled how the simulation functions OK in Windows7, may be one day I'll understand enough.
