I had a similar problem a few years ago with Mach 3 and almost tore my hair out trying to figure out what the problem was. I checked everything mechanical to no avail. Someone suggested copying the existing XML file and then wipe out and reload Mach3, then load save XML file. It worked for me. You can save your special screen set and reload it into Mach 3 as well.

I have been using mach3 for many years. i am recently having strange behavior occasionally and breaking tools. just goes wacky now and then so i have to keep my hand on estop all the time and can not leave the machine. there are no problems mechanical or electrical that i can find. i am using a smooth stepper.
questions, will smooth stepper ethernet work fine with mach 4 windows 10?
i wrote custom screens and macros and i understand these will have to be rewritten for mach 4. i don't have the patience to learn all this new stuff. i am currently taking strong drugs for chemotherapy and am more foggy than usual.
is there anyone i can hire to duplicate my custom screens for mach4 and also the macros? i can try mach4 and maybe i don't really needs this but i am trying to figure out my options
i have a job of 4000 parts to make as soon as possible and would prefer to not have to baby the machine the whole time.
