I loaded mach 3 on a freshly formatted machine running win xp sp2 . Intall seems complete , when I click on the mach mill icon on the desktop a tan screen with pic of a IP end mill and face mill pops up and then the normal screen pops up and all is well.

When I click on the mach turn icon on the desktop I get a multi color screen that (blue,green, orange) pops up and it hangs on this screen and never goes anyfurther. Requires holding the power button down for 10+ seconds to shut down and reboot.

When I click on the Mach loader icon on the desk top a window pops up allowing me to choose a couple of options , when I click on the mach turn option and hit OK I get a grey artsoft screen with an outline of a couple of gears pops up and again it hangs at this point until powered down.
I would like to get my lathe up and running , any thoughts or help greatly appreciated
