    Re Installed Software

    Hi all (My First Post)
    really need help with this

    We were using really old Hypermill software V6 SP
    Bridgeport series 1 Interact 2 TNC151 & 370
    The PC this was running on was 12 years old had a floppy that didn't work and no USB
    the only way to get a new program on was to burn to CD from my PC
    I thought it would be a good idea to update it to a slightly newer PC
    between myself and IT we fumbled our way through re installing the software
    transferring the licences etc but we hit a problem so tried starting the old PC up
    and worst ting that could happen,,,,HD fried

    Anyway that's the background info

    When we run calculate we get an error message :-

    Hypermill Cycleoutput
    Operation 1
    OPEN MIND ERROR = Cycle Cc not installed

    No toolpaths show up, nothing just sits there

    Any Help Appreciated

    PS please do not advise to contact Openmind they didn't want to know
    just wanted to sell us the latest software the and there's no way the company will pay thousands out again
    for what we use it for we're a small in house mould repair shop we don't use the software that often but
    when we do its worth its weight etc

    Regards Eddie

    Hi No we didn't talked to HyperMILL about updating software they were going to charge us over
    5K for latest until I told them we were thinking of going with VisualMILL they knocked £1500 off
    just like that and offered 2 free training places.
    We decided to go for the VisualMIll anyway although dearer because of the history with Hypermill
    We think the problem was the fact they used to come in and do things with there laptop ie updates etc
    leaving us with no clue as to what they had done.
    I trialled the VisualMILL first via FreeMILL download and got great results for our needs in just 1 afternoon,
    really easy to use.
