I'm running Win7 and Mach3. On boot up and several program runs I'm able to use the onscreen pendant or keyboard to move. I can also enter commands in the MDI screen. Then what seems to be random but happening much too frequently Mach won't move. I can change screens but when I try to move the DRO doesn't change nor do the motors move. If I look on the Diagnostics tab none of the numbers are changing which seems odd.

This is a system that has been running for a few years so I'm at a loss as to why this keeps happening. Unfortunately it always seems to happen at the worst time like now when I'm trying to run a 2nd side job so I really don't want to close and restart Mach.

How can I check if this is a driver issue and worse if it is what can I do?

Are there any other tricks to debug this issue?

Have you tried using a different keyboard? Or plugging the keyboard you've got into a different USB slot? If that's not the problem, your Mach3 installation might be corrupt - it happens. Try uninstalling and reinstalling it from a new download. (Remember to save your XML files and license, though).

The computer is an AIO (All in One) with touch screen so I don't have a physical keyboard or mouse plugged in. I can change tabs, load GCode files, but anything related to movement just acts like I didn't do anything. Next time it happens I guess I can grab a keyboard and plug it in to see if that works.

I was hoping that there was some way to perhaps reload the driver while Mach is still running because that seems to be the issue. Yesterday when this happened I checked the limit switch while on the diagnostic page and those pins didn't light up when the switch was activated. But everything else seems to be OK.
