Welcome aboard! We will need to know more about the software you are using. What program are you using to generate the g-code for your cut paths?

SheetCam might work for you. I'm not sure if there is a post processor for that system. If not, one could probably be made.

You may need a license for the software you lose with the other computer crash. Many programs have demo modes and will only do so much without the license. Mach 3 will only execute 250 lines of code, I think SheetCam also has a demo limit. This may be happening with the software you are using now.
