So upgraded yadda yadda....  Everything runs and appears to function but mill no movie.

I guess it's the (seemingly functioning) parallel port?  Whats the skinny, still no correct driver under win 10?  What to do?

Help us out please. :)

OMG , THAT WAS IT ! !  I knew it had to be something simple but man , it just totally skunked me.

Geez , all the hair pulling . . .          I have no idea how that could have changed.

I can't even tell you guys how much I appreciate it.

Is there a way to positively identify the address ?

Also , just some general questions if you can answer. My LPT is labelled LPT3 but of course in "ports and pins" there are "Port1" and "Port2" options, does that matter ? Is there a prefernce to use ? And what does the Com # , bottom left in "configuration" refer to ? 

And thanks.

This should be easy , but you know how that goes. . .

K, been using this setup for years thru motherboard changes , operating system upgrades (running win7 now and no probs till now. Fire it up now and no response. CNC (home built stepper job) seems fine , all steppers engaged/power/etc , Mach3 apparently doing its thing but nothing at the machine. I'm using a LPT expansion card and it shows voltage at the pins but no control changes. No conflicts I can find. The only change that has changed was putting in a (pc-e) video card a week ago. Was o running on board video.  Anyway this has conflicted something ? Seems like Mach doesn't talk to LPT anymore. I'm just about lost. HELP!
