No, this is not a user update report on the software program G-Wizard<\/a><\/strong>. It is still a great CNC must have<\/em> application. \u00a0I just did a new update to my personal copy that I have been using for more than a year with several previous updates. Look here for the original \u00a0REVIEW<\/a>. G-Wizard<\/strong> just keeps getting better. What I want to mention is just a little quirk in this latest upgrade.<\/p>\n

I ran the new update without deleting the existing program on my computer and got the install error message as is described on the G-Wizard update page. It has to do with some new security files that are\u00a0incompatible between versions.To actually install the update (after downloading) I had to manually delete my old version using the windows control panel<\/em>. No big deal and this process and reason is clearly explained on the download page so I won’t describe it further here.<\/p>\n

My only hesitation was if I\u00a0deleted the old version\u00a0using the control panel I might loose all my settings. I was confident Bob Warfield (CNC Cookbook and designer of G-Wizard)<\/a> would have warned me about that so I didn’t hesitate very long. I also know windows\u00a0seldom\u00a0if ever does a\u00a0truly\u00a0complete “clean wipe” \u00a0deletion. I am sure that is by design, just for reasons such as this.<\/p>\n

The update was otherwise quick and painless and I was presented with a new looking calculator screen. There is also a huge increase in the program speed. All my old setups returned and now we are running at a new and faster full speed ahead.<\/p>\n

Keep the good stuff coming Bob!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
