Hi, I finally got Mach 3 to run on my computer after a major reformat.
Everything about the program seems to run fine, job will run and show
all axis movement and even jog speed changes, but the stepper motors
will not run. This is a new machine that I just hooked up. Any and all help
would be greatly appreciated.

Run the driver test to see if the machine and computer are talking to each other.

Make sure the correct port is assigned to each pin. I think by default they are set to port 0, but should be port 1.

Thanks for the help guys, I finally got the motors to come to life.
It took awhile but it was a mistake on my part.
When I installed Mach 3 software there were three icons on my desktop.
Mach3 mill, Mach3 turn and one that said Mill. I was openning the Mach3
mill icon and was getting nothing but the motors locking up. Today I clicked on the icon that said Mill and seen a list that said Mach3 turn, Mach3 Mill and Mill, but here was another icon in there that I caught out of the corner of my eye. It said taig, well of course I clicked on it and sure enough the beast came to life. Thanks for your helpl and advise.
