Gerry, Hood and Tweakie,
Thanks for your input guys!
Gerry when formatting the computer I First reinstalled windows xp normally without optimization. It was only after I couldn't get any life from my stepper motors that I formatted the computer again but this time following the standards pc proceedure.
The computer I'm using is an old one given to me by my work. When the machine was running well it had all software still on it from when it was a work pc.
I will check to see whether any other unwanted devices are still enabled within the bios because I have not changed many things. I only had changed my parallel port to running as ECP + EPP. I will also see if there is a chip set driver which can enhance my parallel port output signals.
Hood and Tweakie the only software that is on my computer is only a genuine copy of windows xp and a genuine copy of mach3. Considering the glitch was before I formatted my computer and the software on my computer was from my old work, I couldn't tell you whether the old software was genuine or not. But it's good to know what the old glitch could have been caused from. Thank you.
If you guys think of anything else that could enhance my parallel port signal please let me know.
I feel like I'm chatting to celebrities after reading almost every post on this forum! Haha
Your input has been highly appreciated. Cheers!
