your xml file is generated whenever you set up your machine. it can be found in C:/Mach3/yourmachinename.xml. To find the problem I will need to see your file.....if it is software related.
the jog on/off is an led on the program run screen under "tool information" about dead center bottom. Or Ctrl-alt-J. to change your jog settings hit 'tab' and an mpg looking window will pop up.
i'm thinking it is a hardware problem. ie common jumper loose, common not connected. since you just installed a new driver that is not likely........unless it is not connected well at the BOB. You may have trapped insulation under the 'dir' connection at the BOB. Or if you installed the new driver by connecting a Euro plug and not screwing new wires under terminals then you may have re-installed your problem. put a meter between the dir+ and dir- terminals at the driver and jog the x both ways. One way should make 5v. the other way should make 0v. I don't think that wire size would be an issue. I have used LAN (Cat5) cable on some BOBs and that is 22ga wire.
go to config/ports & Pins/Motor Outputs. Make sure that step port/dir port are set to the port that you are using.
what make/model BOB are you using? do you have more pins available? If so try moving the x to next pair of axis pins and reconfiguring your x axis to those pins in Config/Ports & Pins/Motor Outputs.
