    Make sure all values are actually filled in. The example text is a gray, entered text is black.

    Double check the values you type into it :) it works: did a quick test and recorded screen for you.

    Peter, I spoke to the gentleman that started this thread. One thing that he did not mention in here was the "white screen of death" that he gets when trying to run the surfacing wizard. He has the 1500x1500 machine and the only time I have seen the white screen is when the OB software is unable to handle the size of the program.
