I can manually move in any direction, but when I try to run a program, the machine goes to position and just sits there.
Any suggestions on at to check? Thanks!

It would be really nice if you could give us some more information. Like: what machine are you using, beginning of your program, does machine generates any alarm message...
Something we can start with
What does your g-code look like?

Sorry, I'm going nuts trying to figure it out. I had a computer crash and replaced the computer. I loaded the XML file for my machine, just as I did before. The g-code is fine I believe since I have run it before without issues. The DRO in Mach3 shows the machine is moving like normal, but after I hit run, the machine goes to zero and sits there. All cables are hooked up correct and I can manually move the machine with the keyboard. It just won't run when I click the run button. Thanks for your help!
Normally with my setup, I press cycle start and a tool change message appears in the status window - pressing cycle start again actually starts the machine running.
Did you do a new install of Mach3?
The g-code doesn't run either? You hit cycle start, and the code stops running? Maybe you're calling a macro that isn't properly set up after the crash so it can't continue? You don't get an error message either?
