hello ,
I have a new machine coming in the near future and am playing with msm mill software. I have a VERY Large SCREEN res is 1980x1200 so I should be able to load the 12x9 screen set. the main screen loads but when I click any task botton I get an error message saying expand file not found then it shows the directory to where it is looking for the file at.

how do I get that screen to load and work???? :?:

Hi,
I'll make an educated guess that you attempted to use the mach menu, view, then load screen to load the MSM 12x9 screen set that you found hidden in a sub dir?
If so that is a (all too) common mistake. The ONLY screen set that should be loaded via the mach menu is MachStdMIll.set - do not ever use mach menus to load anything but that set file when using MSM.
Loading anyhing else via the mach menus will result in the "can't find expand file" syndrome (THe path mach uses to search for scripts is screenset name dependent).

Reload MachStdMIll.set and the you can load a MSM variation from within MSM using the "load screens" button on the MSM settings common page.

Was my guess a good one?
