X7 SP1 Keeps crashing

[Mic6]

Well I finally decided to load X7 and try it out. Every time I click on the toolpath Verify icon, MC crashes. 5 times in a row so far. I migrated my files. Is there something that I missed, or should I un-install and reload?

Now I'm hosed. X6MU3 which was running perfect, now IT won't start. Crashes upon start-up. uggh I KNEW I shouldn't have touched X7

The migration utility is what got you probably. There is a thread about X7 crashing with verify. You might want to read through it because I had the exact same thing happen to me. Uninstalled everything and reinstalled and did NOT use the migration utility (just manually setup X7). And everything is running smooth as silk.

If migrating is so difficult, why don't they add it as a disclaimer when firing up MC

along with any other do's and Don'ts?

 

Dang Mic, I never install new MC releases with our doing a disc image first, Migrating or not.

(in case uninstalling and reinstalling fails repeatedly)

The window 7 utility is free and so far 10x flawless for me.

I'm up. I was so pissed I went out to my truck and slept thru my lunch. Came back, read this stuff and did a clean install, wiped the registry and all is good. I'm able to use my X6 .mtb files. So far nothing has happened from this since I didn't want to recreate my right click menu. All looks good for now, thanks guys.

The best advice ever! (IMO)

Is that code for "smoked a joint"?

 

Just kidding.

 

Glad to hear that you got it working.

As many on this forum knows, I have tremendous problems with X7 crashing ... I took all the correct steps to uninstall, clear registry, delete folders, but noting was working UNTIL I turned off my anti-virus protection (in my case it was ESET ENOD) which was seeing the new code method for the NETHASP as a virus ... I left it off for a week ... no crashes ... so I uninstall it and started using Microsoft Essentials. Also, I scheduled a daily scan during lunch so not to slow down the system too much ,,,

 

As for VERIFY, well most of my request we fixed and a few will be done in the next release, hopefully ...

 

Running great now ... only wish I had a much better computer system, it keeps overheating and the video card is on the way out ... but I have to wait one more year before I can get a better system .. hurts my productivity ... :turned:

His name is g-code and if he could he would ... but company policy is every three years ... when I got here, I had a great work station, but with X6 it began to slow down, with X7 even slower ... but doable until then ..

use G's PC, he just surfs the net dosn't he?

^^^Exactly - answering tech support on here only needs a 386

If the migration utility causes so much trouble, why have they not got rid of it?

[Machineguy]

It must be for Mastercams amusement.
