    Virus protection for Win 10

    Thanks guys, I've been kind of messed up for the past few days. My shop caught fire and burnt up everything in it so I had more things to worry about that her computer. I hate win 10 and I haven't messed with all the fetures it offers so I guess I'll have to peck around and see what it can do. I...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    Well like I said I gave up on the wireless thing and I worked out the roll back of the Mach3 program with the guys over on the Mach3 forum. peterOz helped me out with the Utube thing he did mention doing a backup once everything got worked out but other than that I'm in good shape now.

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    I worked on it for a couple hours this morning and never did get it to work. As soon as I downloaded the files and tried to connect I started getting those same error messages something about dynamic link library. That box would pop up and as soon as I X'ed the box out it would pop right back...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    I saw that but was not sure if it was the right one, it's the UK version. The other day when I downloaded it (V1.02) there was another box that broke it down to the exact version that is on my adapter....V 1.02. The one on this site is V 3.0. I found where I had downloaded the V 1.02 version on...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    ok, same problems just a different day. First I plugged in the adapter and windows could not find drivers. Can't look for drivers unless auto updates are turn on. I don't think I want to do that so I plug in the eithernet cable to get on the net to search for drivers. I go to DLink support and...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    No, It is just easier for me to do stuff like this in my office upstairs. Where the cable modem is I don't have room and there is always people, kids, dogs and a grouchy wife to deal with. The wify would just have made it a lot easier for me. I lost one keyboard to a flying pepsi yesterday and...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    I could do that but I'm afraid to open that can of worms again. I thought I had posted earlier that I had given up on the idea of going the wireless route. I can get internet through my eithernet connection so that I can update a couple of my CAD prograns and also my Mach3 program. I've been...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    I'm not sure if you are asking me to do this again. But, since I have uninstalled the DLink driver/program I don't think it will show up in device manager. There are only two restore points that I can find. One that was done when those last updates were done that crashed the computer dated...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    1) No all of the programs were loaded on the computer when I got it. 2) As far as I know I really won't know for sure until I get it hooked up to the table controller but it will start the program now without crashing the computer. 3) It would show up but when I tried to use it I got a...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    From what I have read people have had the best luck running XP SP1 AS Mach 3 basically takes control of the computer. Win 7 works good if you never let it download updates or connect it to the net. They came out with a patch that will allow it to run on Win 10 but it still is buggy. I'll have...

    Solved Trouble with win 7 not finding wireless adapter

    When I tried that there was only one restore point in the box and it was dated 1/1/2022. I did get three updates at 3 AM on that date. I went ahead and clicked restore and shortly a box popped up saying something to the effect that it had failed and nothing was changed on this computer. When I...
