Hi, I recently upgraded my computer to windows 2000 from 98 and now I am unable to pause the router while it is running. If a problem occurs while routing, I have to pull the power for the computer and that's not really a great thing to do. Anyone know a way to get around this annoying issue?

Have you tired adjusting your "Compatiblity Mode"? Right click on the icon and go to properties. Go to "Compatibility' to adjust. I dont know if it will work, but it might. I'm not even sure if windows 2000 has this feature. I use xp pro. Another option could be using the "escape" key (Esc). Good luck.

When I was upgrading my Techno router the service guy said in order to pause the machine when using XP you have to buy their stop/start box. I feel that the interface works just great on W98 and there was no need to upgrade to XP. I do however have a dedicated computer just for the router.

I initially ran their controller on a box loaded with W98 and then replaced that box with one running XP. Big improvement and I don't think I've ever had a controller app or OS crash EVER on that box. Bite the bullet and use XP. I have the start/stop box but the on-screen pause works just fine. Did you re-install the controller app after the OS upgrade ? What version ?

It works!
I have the Techno CNC Interface v1.0 Build #377. Actually it is currently loaded on XP Pro so I tried the compatibility option, and it worked. Thanks!

Glad that you're up and running. I don't have compatability mode checked here with 377.

I am very happy to hear that the issue was ironed out. Changing Microsoft's OS does alter the setup to a greater or lesser degree, especially the jump from 98 to 2K or XP.
