General Mach Discussion / Re: homemade cnc plasma not right

Maxcl was selected so I cleared the box and restarted the program and now nothing moves?
I can only get things to move in maxcl and the I only get the results listed previously.

First off this is my first build and things were going good until I tried to get the motors to turn.
Specs
Dell OptiPlex 755 computer
Longs motor kit and drivers
Mach3 downloaded
Only thing on the computer is windows7 and mach 3
I have triple checked my wiring and everything is hooked up like it should be but this is what happens when buttons are pushed.
Buttons pushed             What happens
Y+                              Y+ turns
Y-                               Y- turns
x+                             z+
X-                              z-
Z+ or-        Nothing happens
4+                      X+
4-                       X-

I have tried all kinds of pin settings and nothing changes, I have even set all pins to 0 and still get the same results.
I know it sounds crazy but that's what I have to deal with.
If anyone has had similar results PLEASE reply to this so I can get it figured out.
 Thank you very much.
