Driver problem new computer

elaurijsen
Hi all,
I just bought a new computer for Mach3: Pentium 4 3.0 GHz HT with 512 Mb ram. I have installed Windows XP (as a standard pc, so disabled ACPI) The LPT-port is running on 378 (=standard value) When i run the drivertest, i get only a APIC timing constant of 50 and no pulses at all! Also i tried installing Mach2 but got the same results... In Device manager the pulse engines for Mach3 and Mach2 are running correct according to Windows... I tried disabling Hyperthreading with no result. I tried setting the LPT-port to output only with no result. Does someone knows what can be wrong. On my older pc everthing did run very well (only too slow)... but it was only a Pentium 3 733 MHz... Does anybody know what to do now? The computer is a brandnew modern pc so that should be no problem i think? Thanks for your help, Eric |

Hi,
I just reinstalled Windows XP in the normal way, so with ACPI. Now Mach 3 is running ;-) It is not as smooth yet as i want but i didn't use the optimisation-file yet. Happy that is working again! Thanks for your help. Cheers, Eric --- In mach1mach2cnc@..., art <fenerty@...> wrote: ACPI) i think?The LPT-port is running on 378 (=standard value)

The on-board video could be the issue. Do you have a cheap plugin card that can be tested? If so, make sure you turn off the old on in the bios.. Thanks, Art www.artofcnc.ca Videos And Support Forums Users Map: ----- Original Message -----

Hi Art,
Thanks for help. After installing Windows XP again all is working fine now, even in 35 KHz mode ;-) The only difference in the installation is that now i used ACPI and the first time i disabled ACPI. Strange heh? So also with the onboard videocard it is working okay now... Cheers, Eric --- In mach1mach2cnc@..., "elaurijsen" <elaurijsen@...> wrote: think?

YEah, never remove acpi unless you KNOW its creating a problem, some motherboards need it for some drivers. All my computers are ACPI and no ill effects are seen... Thanks, Art www.artofcnc.ca Videos And Support Forums Users Map: ----- Original Message -----

The only problem with not removing ACPI, and trying some or all of the

other fixes, is that if you end up HAVING to remove the ACPI afterwards, you will have to go back and do all of the other stuff again, as it will get reset to defaults after removing the ACPI. I had this happen to me, and it is a real pain in the butt. ________________________________________ Andy Wander | Vice President, Engineering Verrex -----Original Message-----
