Winner 90 DRIVER PTP PROBLEM

[fordwise]

Hi all, would be very gratefull for any help please!!!

Have a bussellato optima 3-axis machine which runs Winner90 through windows 98 operating system (was told it only runs in this?)..

I have now installed the Winner90 on a newer PC...

The PC runs windows 7 but I have a Virtual PC running windows 98 in it...

I have installed all the necessary files for Winner90 on this new PC, all the programs seemed to be installed and running correctly untill I connected the COM PORT which 'talks' to the CNC via PTP1000, I then had an error saying initializaton unsuccessful TRY AGAIN? YES/NO...

I am currently stuck as have no documentation on the install and cant find anything on the internet either!

Please Help!

Have you set up a com port in the virtual PC.
It will not connect unless you set the port, I assume your PC has an actual port as laptops now no longer have them.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply, I will get my I.T guy to look at this tomorrow...

Yes it has a port, the PC has been purpose built to replace the older model, just a shame Winner90 will not run in windows7...

Always thought the updating would be more of a challenge than it seemed and looks like i'm unfortunately correct :(

Hi Guys,

Did you have any luck installing this -

I have got it installed but once i go to send a program to the machine i get this error message-


Number of param. wrong in function n. 92


Can anyone shed any light on this?

Many Thanks in Advance

Hi John

I am trying to learn to program a 1995 Optima 55 running winner 90 and am a beginner.
Do you have any information you could give me to get me started? I cannot find any help on the internet so far.
It would be really appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Hi, Just wondered if anyone can supply a copy of the ptp 1000 software, my floppy disk has become corrupt and cant install winner 90 anymore. my version is v4.46 if that makes any difference. i know it was 1996 last time it was installed. Any info would be greatfully appreciated.
