It looks like a revised screen for Mach 3 (non-standard) could be a macro got messed up. If you have an original software backup you may try reloading it but that may mess up you setting. On your hard drive you may have a backup (xmlbacks files) In Mach 3 folder under xmlbackups folder. Any time you make changes Mach 3 makes a new backup with the info before the change, you can change the extension on the backup file and copy it into the Mach 3 folder to see if that helps bring it back.
