General Mach Discussion / Re: Problem finding machine

I do have the DVD but the drivers etc. are all custom.  I have this: http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/product_info.php?cPath=33&products_id=47 .  The optoisolation is the reason for the additional usb power.  I'm also confident this is working because all the indication LEDs on this board change when I hit my limit switches and also when I disconnect my printer port from my PC.  But for whatever reason Mach has no such indication that anything is connected.  I'm using a configuration that has worked in the past with the correct port address.  Is this a driver issue?  And isn't the driver installed a new with a reinstall of Mach3?

I have a Pilot Pro CNC with a controller board that uses a usb for additional power, I think.  I've had some luck getting my pin LEDs lit with different versions of Mach but I still have no control.  I also can't find any "machineName" or any other configuration profile file.  What corrupted files could I be leaving behind that a totally new install of Mach wouldn't fix?

After some messing with Mach3 software, (updating, integrating with Lazy, finding license) I can no longer find my machine.  My port LEDS are all black in my Diagnosis screen.  I think all the ports are configured as before (Does anyone know the name of the file that remembers the users configs?).  I have two usb cables that connect to my PC, once is for a MPG and the other is for the machine itself, that might be the problem but I don't know.  The manual doesn't offer any trouble shooting suggestions.  Any ideas of what might be wrong?
