Made a right balls up

Ok, files don't want to install as the install wizard has gone on holiday, so I need to install them manually. I put the .sys file in the drivers file of the system32 directory, and I dont know where to go from there as it's proper pc nerd stuff.

Do I need to copy and paste install info into my registry?

I'm only asking as with .sys file in place, it still says there is no driver.

Hi all. thanks to Cropwell again for finding me the pci driver. I asked a computery friend last night who told me where to put stuff, and now, the pci driver is installed, and according to device manager, it's working properly.

So....on to my next hurdle, getting mach to talk to my machine.

I have set some soft keys, for xyz etc, but they still dont work. There is clearly something I am missing in the settings department. Would anyone be able to help please?

On your keyboard, the left and right arrows should jog the X axis up and down arrows for the Y and Page Up and Page Down for the Z.
Provided you have the right pins settings in Mach3.

One thing you may need to do with a parallel port card is check the port settings in Windows device manager and make sure that Mach3 has the same settings for the port.

The saga continues chaps. It's stumping the hell out of me. I've not been near the machine recently as been busy with bike riding, rc car racing, and diy rubbish, but a rainy saturday and some spare time sees me out there trying to fathom the mysteries.
