One possibility is that your file is corrupt. If you created the g-code on another machine and saved it to a thumb drive then pulling the thumb drive out before the machine is done with it will screw up the file allocation table and leave the file corrupt.

If the file is a huge 3D file it may be too large for the memory of the machine you have mach3 installed on.

Without more info from you these are the best suggestions I can come up with.

In the pic, it looks like you are trying to open a shorcut, not the actual g-code file.

Thanks,

I had the wrong setting of type of file selected.

It just changed on its own....All is good now

Happy 4th to the south

Cheers
