DOS based Fanuc software hangs as soon as I run it

Post by Mr Magoo » Thu 06 Apr , 2006 11:58 am

When I try to run my DOS based Fanuc offline programming or Desk Top Tutor software it shows one line of text similar to...

DENFORD FANUC MILLING CNC programming (v1.30) 02 January 2001

then the software hangs.

:shock:

Check your DOS environment variables.

You can not have any single DOS environment variable longer than 255 characters.

Type SET at the command prompt to see your DOS environment variables.

When running from within a windows DOS prompt it is not uncommon for your PATH environment variable longer than 255 characters. If it is, try removing it by typing
SET PATH=
at the command prompt before running your DOS software.
