If it is a hardware issue then why do I get the warning light "one or more axis disabled or enabled" ?   It would be nice to know precisely what the warning refers to and how to correct the abnormal condition.

I am going to try a Gecko G540 and see if there is any difference.  I've never installed the G540 so this may take a while.

Thanks for your effort!!!  It is appreciated!

The strange thing is I dont get that abnormal condition when I load your xml, I get one about the active plane.

When it works Mach3 is a pleasure to use but it has caused me more problems than any other software I use.   I'm at a loss as to how to proceed.   I'm workng on the Gecko drives to see if the problem is in the drivers but I think the real problem is in the software.

Thanks,
