Tweakie,

Thanks.. I validated the printer port and the settings in Mach are the same.  To the best of my knowledge nothing in the ports / pins or any other mach setting were changed as I copied a working config to a new install and left the working config with the old install unchanged.  When I complete a system restore  (to undo the new install) everything works properly without any configuration changes.

General Mach Discussion / Problem Upgrading

Hoping for some help.  I have done some searching and found similar threads but no real solutions.

I have been running Mach 3.041 for as long as I can remember (3 years or so).  I decided to upgrade to the latest version.  I installed the new version of Mach on my C: Drive and the existing version of Mach was left on my E: drive.  I accepted all options (parallel port driver, lazy cam ect...)  After the install I copied my license and profile file to the new directory.  When I launched the new version I could not get the steppers to move nor any inputs to register.  I checked the ports and pins and they were correct.  I then ran the old version 3.014 and the same problems.. no inputs, no outputs.  I ran the parallel port test program and its said "excellent"

To get everything to work I did a system restore which removed the new copy of Mach.  I then launched the 3.041 version and everything works fine.  I then tried to reinstall the new version of Mach without installing the parallel port driver with the same results.. nothing worked.

Any ideas.. what am I missing?
