XP is not Deterministic they say. It is always doing its own thing - looking to see if the mouse has moved, if the keyboard has been pressed - when you want a pulse to go to a motor. This does not happen with Windows 98. What we both need is to be able to make XP send pulses to the motors in "Hard Real Time". Let me know if you get a result with XP please regards Patch Andy
