Have you got a properly licensed install of Mach??

In demo (unlicensed) there is a code limit.

You should have a file with the name of mach1lic.dat - this is the license

shut mach down, browse to the mach folder - usually "C:/mach3" and copy the license file into that folder

restart mach3 and you details should now be shown in the title bar of the mach screen  :)

OK,

right-click on it with your mouse and select "copy"

next go to "my computer" after clicking on the "start" button.

double-click on "C:\" - it should b there and will open showing some folders,

one of those folders should say "Mach3"

right-click on that folder and select "Paste"

that should be it.

Glad to help.

This next bit will be tricky without knowing the machine details.

Does it move at all when told to go up i.e. does it move down instead?

Or does it move down ok when told to go down but does nothing at all when told to go up?
