Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Slow List Computer set up question.

Jeff and Bill,
CNC Pro works very well in windows 95's DOS mode. The CNC Pro installation and
first run sets it up automatically. I'm not saying it works in the dos box (dos
prompt) mode. When you close CNC Pro, return to windows is automatic.
Also, if using win 95 (or 98 too, I beleive) you can install MS PowerToys (free
download) to give the option of displaying the boot menu at start up for as long
as you want. Chose DOS, windows, safe mode, etc.
Rich D. Doin'it every day.
