Goto Config/System hot keys and make sure they are set correctly.

You also need to have a feed speed entered or the jog will be really really slow. On MDI enter F20 for a feed rate of 20 mm or inches.

Thank you every one!

I've checked confyg\ hotkeys. They are 39, 37, 38, 40, 33, 34. Seems to be OK.
I've changed feed to 20 mm/min.
No result. The arrow keys don't work.

I upgraded to SP3. No result.

I checked the Mach on another Laptop with Win 8.1. Arrow keys work, a program is excecuted, but no LPT.

Please, help.

Check your Num lock / Scroll lock.

Reassign the keys using the pop up dialog instructions maybe.

Stumer,

          Does your keyboard arrow keys work with any other software? For example in notepad can you move the cursor using the arrow keys?

Charlie_M,

Arrow keys work with other applications. Pay attention, please, that G-code doesn't execute also. It means that Mach works incorrectly.

Ok so reinstall Mach3.

I reinstalled March 6 or more times with Win7 and XP. Result is the same.

When you say "Arrow keys don't work". Do you mean when you jog (press the arrow keys) the DRO values don't change or just that the axes don't move?

When you say "G-code doesn't execute" do you mean the gcode doesn't "run" in the gcode window and the DROs don't change values or do you mean the axes don't move?

Did not see any mention of the axis' being enabled.
Rename and post the XML of the profile you are using, someone might see something there.

Are you using a PP?

1.Run the driver test
2. Sure that the PP address is correct in your config.

Attach your xml as requested.

I upgraded it to SP3 with a downloaded fom MS web exe.file.
I downloaded a 66 version of March from this site one more time.
I installed Mach one more time.

But no result, arrow key don't work, g-code doesn't run.

I have read about ya Papa Fabio many times. ;D

I suggest that no one provide any replies to Stuemer until he resolves his pirating behavior. >:(
In particular this thread.

Sorry!

I understood why you suspected me in pirate behavior. Let  me explain how it may happen.

I tried to solve this problem more when 2 weeks. There were dozens atempts of instalation and so on. During this two weeks I asked my freend to help me, also I hired a guy to  help me. They tried to install Mach versions that they use. So when I installed Mach downloded from this web there might be some files from other versions in the Mach directory.
When I understood pirate suspection, I deleted Mach directory and reinstall March. There is no Papa Fabio now, but nothing works.

The problem is that knowingly or not you have shown you have access to a pirated license. In this circumstance we have to insist that you now buy a genuine license if you want to use this forum again.

I/we know exactly why you're having the problems you're having and will be happy to tell you how to fix things when you do buy a license.

Sterling,

Thank you for answer.  Unfortunetly it's a big risk for to buy license before testing. Considering that I am going to use for unusual puposes. I'm not sure about final result. Now I need just to try it. Because I'm cearching for a cnc coftware for a filament winding machine.

So, I think in my cases it's better to change computer, if no result to try EMC2.
