Hi Chris
You can copy your profile XML file over from your old PC to your new one, but you still might have to retune your motors.

you could for reference go into the original config screens and print a copy of them just in case the xml didn't configure correctly, at least then you would have a record of each setting.

Hummm, thinking maybe a quick little tool to back up and restore the MACH file(s) maybe in order ?

Goto software, downloads, MachProfile
It lets you backup, and even compare two profiles.
He makes the best Mach screen designer. MachScreen
Also a very good video plugin.

The other thing, not yet mentioned, is your license file (you have licensed it, haven't you?).
A further bit of good advice I've seen is to copy these two files to a USB stick, put it in a ziplock bag and tape it inside the PC or even onto the machine somewhere.
backed up on a cdr (cheaper) cheers djc
