Gentlemen

Thank you for your thought and suggestions.

I'm not convinced it's a PP driver problem as the machine PC has the PP driver installed, not sure if the laptop tried to install a driver, besides neither computer is connected in any way.

I checked to see if the index emulating box was ticked on both computers, neither were and ticking the box has no effect.

My gut feeling after a good nights sleep is:- G76 is inhibited in the demo mode so I'm wondering if the machine PC has inhibited G76, even though it appears to have read and accepted the licence file.

Guess I'll have to load the program and licence file on another PC to test my theory.

NOT saying a Problem with PP but it may be Exactly what the problem could be.? Because the PP driver is installed but your not connected to machine Mach needs to see an Index pulse and it's Not.
Go check if the Index Input is enabled and if it isn't then enable it and toggle the Active state to trick Mach into thinking it's connected.

I'm not into CNC Lathes so don't know exactly how G76 works or Mach treats it but I'm sure because it's threading it will be connected to the Index pulse input.
