Hi
I recently blew up the harddrive on the comupter I was using for the Romaxx ( 5 years old and working perfectly) so when I replaced it, I scrubbed the Hard Drive on the new (very used) computer, reinstalled XP, vectric and Mach 3.
The CNC works great. But what I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong is that the display for Mach 3 only takes up about 1/2 the monitor screen no matter how I try to enlarge it to the whole screen. Also while it's cut speed is awesome once I start the Gcode, When the code is loaded and I am using the keyboard to manually move it to a new "0" location it is so incredibly slow (think pouring cold molasses). I set it up with the 60 ipm as recommended in my old documents from when I bought it, is that the problem with the travel speed?
