Try SFS Carbide, I've used them for years... Saginaw, MI IIRC

Thanks, I'll shoot over a request.

Rotary, Who did you email at Haas? I've drawn up my own from their PDF's, but I'd love to see what they have of their own product.

I've got the same issue. For some reason it worked fine in winXP.

Check out the lenove W520 by Lenovo (cdw.com)... full 1920 led lcd, 8gigs ootb, up to 16g mx and starts around 1500$usd. You'll be amazed at what a q1000 can do............. _eee77

That would be a huge step in the right direction... Can we right off maintenance???lol

Get as much RAM as you possibly can afford, MCX someday will be 64bit I hope!!

**Update** I reinstalled through the local admin account instead of the domain admin account and it stuck this time. I had to copy the 'shared mcx5' folder to the domain user folder and I am up and running now. It's kind of funny that all previous MCX installs for the last 4-1/2 years I've done have been through the domain account and I never had an issue... Thanks to all who assisted, and Chris Lang - thanks for going the extra mile! -Erik

Chris I am caught in a loop. Replacing MCMachinedef.DLL caused MCCore.dll to fail next... replaced that as well, now Mastercam.EXE shows a similar error. I've also tried the DVD for a clean install with the same results. I'd call my reseller again, but I know what the result will be. If you've got an X6 DVD I can have, I think that might fix it.

Chris, that error was from another user... mine is 'The procedure entry point ?GroupsMachineGroup@YAPAU_group_list@@PAU1@@z could not be located in the dynamic link library MCMachineDef.dll.'. Thanks

Scott - yes. One other thing to note is this was a fresh install, this machine is a brand new Lenovo W520 w/ next to nothing installed on it. -Erik

Well, I got in this morning and cleaned out the install again, removed all folders and traces leftover... restart and reinstall from DVD, same results. I guess I will redownload like Greyman recommended, I do remember this happening once before (thanks for the tip). Hopefully this works, I've got a new machine w/an i7 and i'm dying to crunch some #'s. Sidenote, any advice on a reseller w/ apparently little regard for helping it's customers? -ee

+1 Chris

Initially, yes... But I've uninstalled, manually removed all mastercam entries in the registry, reboot and reinstalled with the same error. I also tried the same method, and ran before applying MU1 and had the same results. My reseller was of minimal help at best. -Erik

I just did a fresh install of MCX5 w/MU1, all default everything... The program seems to work fine but I get a popup during the splash screen with a message about 'The procedure entry point ?GroupsMachineGroup@YAPAU_group_list@@PAU1@@z could not be located in the dynamic link library MCMachineDef.dll.' I've tried uninstalling, clean and reinstall to no avail. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Thanks in advance, Erik
