New Computer

[Odell]

I'm expecting my new computer to come in today and was wandering if there is anything I can do to make the transition a little easier. I have never set up my own machine posts befor and I know thats where im going to get stuck. Is there any files that I should upload to our server and then bring back when I get the new system online? I'll be moving up from XP to Win7.

That your using now save them to your network and then after you install x4 on your new computer use those files and do what the link says.

Thanks for your help....I'm excited about the new computer but not so excited about setting the thing up. I would like to learn how to do some of this stuff myself instead of having to make a phone call and have someone do it for me.

Don't forget to copy over your .mtb (toolbars), .kmp (keymap file) and .config. Only copy your config file over if you're using the same version of MC on the new PC.

What do you mean, what happened?

Well.....I tried to copy my config files and lost all my toolbars. I just got off the phone with my reseller and he got that fixed for me. Now i've got to set up my machines again. As soon as I get MU2 put back in i'm going to hook up my other hard drive and try to get my post back. When I talked to my reseller he told me how and what to do but he was talking 100 mph. so i'm not sure if i wrote all this down correctly. I guess i'll find out soon enough. I was told to got to mcx / mill / post and copy & past my machine post over and then go to cnc_machine to get my control and definition files and copy & past them over and that should do it. I'm not sure but i've got a feeling there is going to be more to it than that!

Burn your old stuff to disk first.
