    New computer install, problems with posting.

    I've just upgraded to a Dell M4700 mobile workstation and am having trouble with the install.
    Windows 7 Pro, 8gb RAM, NVIDIA Quadro K2000M w/ 2gb memory, Solid state hard drive.
    My disc 64 bit install CD kept error-ing out during install so I downloaded the latest update of V25 from BC's website.
    That install went ok, and I can create geometry in DEMO mode.
    Posting, however, only outputs the following for a 2" square profile (after the header)

    N03 T1 M6
    N19 M09
    N20 M05
    N21 G53 Z0
    N22 G53 Y0

    There are no x, y, or z moves.

    The post is one I copied from my current (working) system.
    That system is Windows XP.

    Also tried generic post from new install, but same result.

    Is DEMO mode supposed to output useable code or is it limited to just creating geometry?

    I don't want to switch the license to the new computer until I get it running in DEMO mode first.

    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds normal for Demo mode. BobCAD counts the header lines as part of the posted code limit. I have a special post processor with everything before the first tool stripped out.

    Correct, authorized new computer and system posts code now.
    Have some other issues now w/ graphics adapter, but working through that too.
