New starter HELP -Cannot jog etc

[Briantaylor55]

i purchased a small cnc with mach 3 several months ago and got it all working OK.
Now after a long break I have connected to a new computer, but cannot get the Mach 3 to respond, either with the CNC connected or without. I cannot even perform a simple jog.
Obviously Ive overlooked some very simple setting or switch, but I am tearing out my hair just to get started
HELP PLEASE

If the RESET button is flashing click it.

Its not that.
Also I notice on the diagnostics screen,  port 1 Pins current state, none of the boxes are highlighted green

Rich,
sorry I forgot to say, thanks for the tip.

Did you run the driver test as that installs the driver?  Do you have the port enabled in Mach along with an address?
I am assuming that you are using your former xlm file, so if it worked before...should work again if the above was done.

Hi Rich,

Lost me with this lot. Its a while since I downloaded it, so I think it may be best to uninstall and start again from scratch.

Hi Rich,

Decided to run the driver again just before I uninstalled.

IT WORKED !!! I'm up and running

Thanks for the help, Its saved me from tearing out the last of my hair.
