After you have loaded the plugin and the xml files into their proper folders, when you start Mach3, it will ask you if you want to run the dspmc, pport, or other motion control device. If this message doesn't display at startup, under the function cfg's tab in  Mach3 it has a selection that says reset device selection and you will be able to chose which device you want to use the next time you start Mach3.

Thanks Mike.
another question:
I am programming in the following order MDI mode G00 G90 X360, run the command to the DRO for the X-axis shows me X333.727.
What could be happening?

If this is the first move of the day so to speak, are you starting by doing a ref all?. The dspmc will sometimes have stuff in the counters at power up and a ref all sets things right. Also, what version firmware are you using? The firmware number and plugin version dispaly in the message box of mach3 at startup.
