    Unhappy Mach 3 - Driver Test results VMWare player (XP -> Mach 3)

    Hi Forumites,
    I have the following setup for mach 3:
    host 64bit win 7 ultimate SP 1
    vmware player 5.0.2 build-1031769
    Mach 3 installed on win XP pro sp3 (inside VM)

    I have followed optimisation.txt but it still looks like a mad cooks custard- any pointers (see images)

    Get a PC with a 32bit version of XP or Windows 7. Or get an external motion controller. You can't use the parallel port with Mach3 and a 64bit OS. And you can't run it in a VM.
