Mastercam Crash

[cqualls]

I programmed a lathe job and posted the program, when posting it came up with a warning couldn't find MP DLL. The program went ahead and posted but wasn't correct. I closed out of Mastercam X2 then tried to open MCX2 up and got the message: C:McamX2mastercam.exe This application has failed because the application configuration is incorrect. Tried opening McamXmr2 and it wouldn't open. Tried opening MC9.1 and get a warning: cannot load c:windowssystem32mclstctl.ocx.

Rebooted the computer and still getting same messages.

Any ideas as to what is wrong?

Is your maintenence up? Are you using an usb dongle key? It may have worked loose.

I tried running the repair utility from Mastercam and got an Error 1904.Module C:Windowssystem32mcdescr.dll failed to register. HRESULT-2147010895. contact your support personnel. I opted to continue this repair and got the same message with the mcdescr.dll changing several times.

Is this a corrupt registry issue on the harddrive?

Maintenance is up and have moved the usb dongle to a different port just to check it out.

MClstclt.ocx is a file that resides in your control panel. Choose the mastercam icon, go to C: / windows/ system32/ MCLSTCTL.cox

 

make sure you have the register radio button selected below the window. then just register the ocx. All should be good then

Tried a different sim and still no luck.

reregister the other one too.

 

mcdescr.dll

Ray,

 

I'm run Window XP Professional.

Are you saying to go into the control panel then select the Mastercam Icon out of the control panel?

I don't see a Register button Anywhere.

chkdsk /f

?

Murlin,

What are you talking about. chkdsk/f

[Müřlıń®]

start/run/command

 

When the DOS window comes up type in chkdsk /f and make sure your HDD does not have any errors on it...

 

Whenever I start having hooky glitches, it's the first thing I do.

 

Dunno if it will help, but sometimes freaky errors are due to lost clusters on the HDD..

 

It's probably due to the fact you have so many installs of X.

 

They all have intermingled security all the way back to ver 9.1.

 

After making sure you have no HDD errors. Try running the hasp proggy.

The problem has been resolved by running a repair on the .net2 framework install. All versions of Mastercam is back up and running.

 

Thanks,

Thanks for the advice on the check disk. Its been along time since I've used any dos commands.
