    I cant get Mach3 to run

    Hey everyone, im having some problems


    I try to run MAch3 with windows Vista, but i cant get it to work. I read the instructions for windows vista on machsupport.com but for some reason, i still cant get it to work. I keep getting this every time i try to run the program:
    --------------------------
    Title bar- Mach4

    Couldn't create the file!

    ------OK-----
    ---------------------------

    when i click "OK" it goes to the "legal notice"

    Then when i accept the terms it says " Access to lasterrors.txt was denied"

    Then the the MAch3 CNC controller comes up, but its just a grey screen.

    When Mach3 finally comes up, can you go to the view menu and choose load screens?

    Then pick 1024.set

    Never even seen Vista, so can't help you there.

    Go to the Config>General Config and select Auto Screen Enlarge and see if that helps.
