    Hello

    thank you for entering in my post

    I've just downloaded a demo version of iTNC 530 on my laptop with Windows Vista
    I'm not able to write a program like: insert the blank form or insert a normal line stating with L
    I can get into the editing page > I can write the name of my program but then i can't do anything else

    I've seen there are several foldes with many files on the top left of the screen, among this files, is there any examples of the program?

    What are the main differences between a demo version and the proper software as I've seen it costs £2673,00 !, without any other components (like a keyboard) only the CD software with a manual

    I know with a demo version you can write a program no longer than 100 lines, however the proper software to be so expencive, what does it have more?

    Any information accordinfg thi matter will be very appreciative

    thank you in advance for your help

    Hello arenamember,

    the trick I've given to you...


    The only main differences ->
    The demo version of the iTNC 530 programming station permits you to save up to 100 NC blocks per NC program.
    When extracting contours from DXF files, the TNC saves no more than 50 NC blocks in the corresponding contour program. The same constraint applies to extracting machining positions into a point table.

    The price £2673,00 is heavy but I can nothing say about.. in germany the programming station cost's € 2500

    The dongle version is as I've heard probably cheaper - no idea if it's true but I've heard € 800

    Thank you very much CNCFanatiker

    yes vista is a generally problem - windows7 runs much better & windows8 is highly enjoyable

    If problems occurred during the installation, it is better you turn off the firewall... when it runs - programming station must have access at IP 127.0.0.1 [localhost]

    Dear CNCFanatiker

    I uninstalled iTNC530, CCleaner and Spybot (search and destroy) and deactivated Avira and I installed again the software

    After all this operations I can see an improvement but I have the same problem: I can write 5 or 6 lines of my program and then it blocks that is; the virtual keyboard doesn't answer to any command but I have no message of error now

    About IP 127.0.0.1 [localhost], I did a copy and paste of my Hosts file

    I don't know what to do more

    I'm really thinking of buying a new laptop

    Is Windows 8 the operating system which runs better then any other system?

    Thank you very much indeed in advance again for your help

    Ps: About IP 127.0.0.1 [localhost], I did a copy and paste of my Hosts file
    May you see from this file if I have access to IP 127.0.0.1 [localhost]?

    Hello,

    Do you still have these Problems?
    I think the hosts file schould not be the problem.
    At least Windows 8 on my system run's best so far... but I think without any system tuning Windows 8 is more an entertainment & multimedia system - I've installed Winows Classic Shell to really work with it like on older windows systems.
