I assume when you start EMC, the banner pops up for a while, then disappears. Then an error window pops up. Are there any error messages about twenty or thirty lines down, and at the bottom of the messages? Or any place else. If you can indicate what those error messages are, I can try to help, but I don't have any stepper setups myself. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
