Sounds like MSM is in mill mode after the new install.
To change to lathe mode do this:
1) use the mach menus: view/load screen and change to MachStdMillLathe.lset.
The dialog that will come up will show .set files by default, but you can change the "files of type" setting to show the lset files. Note: The only file to select for MSM lathe mode (at the mach level) is MachStdMillLathe

2) MSm will reload aftet selecting the lset file and Mach (and thus MSM) will now be in lathe mode.
Now you can go to MSM settings page, click "load screen" and you will see the choices for MSM lathe screens.
(MSM only shows the screen choices for the current mode (mill/lathe).
