I got it to run, but I had to completely pull out any tool call up.

For some reason I can't call a tool T?M6 and use my 4th axis.

That's extremely strange.

If you look at the tool.tbl file in a text editor is there anything wierd going on? (like an offset in the A-axis)

Yes, but, what does the tool.tbl file look like in a text editor? Perhaps it has become corrupted or has "grown" some DOS line-endings or something.

In fact, why not try deleting tool.tbl and creating a new tool file?

Are you using hal_manuatoolchange?
Can you check that is isn't hidden underneath the main Axis window?
