    If you are talking about the settings in the various tabs and windows, use "print screen" to paste a picture of every tab and window of the program into a word doc. Then just set up the 2nd pc with the same settings. Keep this doc as a backup in case you need to set it all up again. Hope this helps.

    I'm not sure this would work, but as a suggestion...couldn't he just take the Hard Drive out of PC2, plug it into PC1 and "ghost" the whole Drive.

    He could then stick it back in PC2 and have a cloned machine (assuming MOBO, Sound Card etc are the same)?
    I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

    Hi Carrot,

    Totally different machines and OS's Xp and 2000

    P3 and P4

    Thanks.

    I thought you could backup files and keep the same data.

    Will keep looking through the book.

    Thanks

    Found what I was looking for. Everything is stored in .xml files in the Mach3 directory.

    So if Iwant to setup another machine all I need to do is install and copy mach3mill.xml accross to the second machine.

    Please correct me if I wrong.

    Thanks
