Hello Ed,

This is an issue with a recent Windows 7 Update not agreeing with how Mach3 uses the parallel port. You can uninstall the recent update to fix this issue. I included a link below on how to do that and some of the known updates that cause this problem. You can also do a system restore to a saved point on your computer. Another option is to upgrade to an external motion controller, which do not have this issue.
