The parallel port driver that Mach3 uses doesn’t work with Win10.? You’ll need to go back to Win7 (or XP) for it to work. ? Tony ? ?

Subject: [MachCNC] Mach3 on computer with Parallel port & windows 10.? My old computer with XP crashed & I have found another one with a parallel port on it but it has windows 10. I have down loaded Mach3 onto it, but it does not appear to be down loading the driver. I have ran a driver test & the the result is an instant message saying there is not a driver. Mach3 will load & will function on screen with the keyboard arrows but the machine will not move. My parallel port connects to a Xylotex 4.03 board, which controls a Tiag bench top mill. I read some where that in order to use this computer I was going have to buy a different controller, is this true? If so, what controller do o need to acquire ? I really don’t understand all this stuff other than what I have read on the Artsoft page & Visio’s on YouTube. I’m going to be bald before I get this figured out. (No offense ?e to bald folks)?
