Ok, maybe not that extreme, but hopefully I can find the problem here. We just bought 2 machines. These machines run on an X, Y, Z axis that is displayed through a DOS program on a Windows computer. Here's my problem. One of the computers displays the X,Y,Z coordinates just fine, but the other computer is displaying weird looking characters instead of X,Y,Z and its coordinates.

I don't know what's going on here and can't seem to find a fix. They both run the same exact batch file, they both have identical fonts on their computer. Here is the batch file:

@ECHO OFF
:LOOP
BOX
FONTLOAD \DOS\BXT.FNT
ECHO LOADING OPERATOR INTERFACE...
BXX %1
IF NOT EXIST C:\NEXT.BAT GOTO SKIP
CALL C:\NEXT.BAT
DEL C:\NEXT.BAT
GOTO LOOP
:SKIP

Now the computer displays everything on screen fine except for the X,Y,Z and its coordinates. If there's any suggestions at all I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
 
Same version of DOS on both systems? Different versions might be handling your commands differently.

Different video cards? This could cause a display problem.

Corrupted font file on computer #2? Copy it to a floppy and rename, then copy the file from computer #1 and run Norton Compare or its equivilant to check this.

Dumb question . . . what is the purpose for this routine???
