Are you modifying the personality file trying to do something else?

PLEASE post a FRESH report as well.
Yes I watched the video and read the document and I had the shuttle express working fine. I don't even know what the "personality file" is or where I could find it - so no, I did not edit it. I have been in and out of the Wizard dozens of times and I have done extensive work with the VCP files and macros etc.

I obviously messed up a couple of things: Feed Hold not working at all and the file open issue after the usage of the shuttle express.

I will ask the question again, should I get the machine into a state where those alarms are on screen then do the report or just run another report? Running a Fresh report at this time will probably just show more of the errors and faults as was in the last report.

Thanks for diving in, I really appreciate the help!

Chris, you should get your machine working properly WITHOUT involving the Contour Shuttle. If you have grunged files, then I would take screen shots of all your Wizard settings, print them, rename your CNCM/CNCT directory and put a fresh copy of 4.64 on the machine and hand key everything back in to get the machine running. Once its running correctly and as expected, then add the Contour Shuttle Express.

Really have no idea what modifications/changes you did to get to where you are at now....
