I have been running the HangyangVFD plugin by Matty Zee on my CNC for the past year without any problems. I recently had a (Blue Screen of Death) from my Windows XP operating system and had to completely reinstall everything. I got everything working again but cannot get the Hangyang driver to be recognized by the Mach3 software. I get the following errors when I load Mach:

Plugin DLL Defective. Reload.

Then

HuanyangVFD.dll-Defective Plugin found..ignoring..

I cannot see the plugin at the Mach plugin config screen. I tried re-downloading the driver and erasing the old one but no dice... Anyone know how I can fix this???

I am running Mach3 version: R3.043.022
I am current on Windows XP service packs and all updates.

Thanks in advance on assistance. Need to figure this out fast as I have a couple jobs on hold because of this issue.

Try the one by Sebastien it is a little more advanced.

Another thing that affect's both plug-ins is if you do not have the V++2008 distributable's loaded or wrong version.

Thanks for the advice AL.

I completely updated windows framework to 3.5, updated the V++2010 distributable's and updated Mach to latest version R03.043.066.
Combination of these aloud me to load the Hangyang plugin and reconfigure it.

However, now when I try to run a g-code file Mach3 will randomly freeze in the code every single time and lock the entire PC up. Anyone have any ideas on what would be causing this?

Thanks for the help.
