Hey Jon sorry to confuse people. That was before the Touchscreen upgrade. Now you can't see anything is axis with the new touch screen. I have the probe basic gui working now though so will probably stay with that. And everything works on that so I won't dive into the problem. Here is a quick

Tried the keyboard shortcuts of Ctrl+C for Copy and Ctrl+V for paste? Or click the center button (pushing down the scroll wheel should work) or both left and right buttons simultaneously for paste. If all fails snap a picture of the error message, or try Alt+PrtScr to take a screenshot of the
