Jumping in here - it is most regrettable you are having such trouble.

I believe that mach3screen.exe (Ver 2.7e) will do everything you need. It works on Win 7 and Win 8.1 (64 bit) for me in simple tests although I am not using regularly anymore. Mach3Screen has no tricky .ddl requirements or installation - indeed it can be run after downloading from any folder (even on a USB thumb drive). I don't know what comes in the latest Mach3 install but you can download this working version from Screen4 has its fans and phobics - the one certain thing is that it will destroy a screen set if it is run on a display with resolution that causes it to display scroll bars on the main window. Art Fenerty always used a nice big screen but my machines have 1024 x 768 and this of course needs scrolling to show a screenset that is 1024 x 768. BTW: The screens are defined in .set files which are essentially binary images of the data structures used within Mach3; no hand editing is possible. Let us know how you get on.

so maybe screen4 has the only chance of working. i tried it on one
of my xp machines and i can not select anything. if i right mouse
click an item, it is briefly selected and then the selection
disappears as soon as i release the mouse or sooner. undo does not
work so every time i mess it up i have to close and reload the
program. the program is amazingly quirky and non intuitive. is there
a user guide or a tutorial showing how to do the most basic stuff? i
am really losing patience. all i want to do is remove all the 4th
axis DRO stuff add an MDI to the hole created and add a button to
toggle the second spindle on and off. i don't think this should take
2 days of experimenting. since i can get some basic stuff to work with one of the other editors such as adding the DRO, is there some file that i can edit by hand to remove stuff as this is almost impossible with screen4. does one of the XML files contain the screen information or some other file that might be somewhat comprehensible?
