What machine are you using?
Parallel port or external motion controller (USB or Ethernet)? Please name model.

Anyway,
Turn off your machine power OFF (NOT the computer - just the router).
Now if you are using stepper motors, Manually turn or crank each motor so that no axis X , Y, Z etc have the limit switch triggered. Just move a little distance.
Now power router on
In MACH3
Click [reset] button
Click [ref. all] button

Let us know how it goes.

Sorry,
" plugin DLL defective" may be because of old or illegal version of MACH3

Backup your profile (mach3mill.xlm) and license file (Mach1Lic.dat) and download latest version of Mach3 R3.043 from:-
https://www.machsupport.com/downloads-updates/main-programs/

When you are installing, disable antivirus, right click on Mach3Version3.043.exe and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR

YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY REBOOT the PC after installation or else MACH3 parallel port driver will NOT work.

After reboot try testing again.

Do you know what is your Break Out Board (BOB) Brand and model number?
Unless you have set up your "ports and pins" correctly, the machine is not going to move or do anything.

1 I cannot identify your Mach3 interface board.
Please take picture of the whole board.
2. Your device manager list does NOT show that you have successfully loaded the MACH3 parallel port driver YET.
Mach3 pulseing Engine & driver are missing
YOU need to reinstall MACH3 again

This is NOT the brand and model number - just a generic description.
