result was that whether or not anything is set to active low or active high nothing lights up on the diagnostic tap as far as input signals current state.

I'm starting to scratch my head as my hair is falling out... :(

Working fine here, set them to Active Hi and perfect. You will need to make sure that 0378 is the correct port address, if it is then I dont understand what can be wrong.

Thanks Hood,

How do I find the ports if they do not show up on device manager?

Start, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, System Information Then go to Components in that window then Ports then Parallel

Soooo.......If I get to that point and expand the + symbol and see nothing under either serial or parallel, then I either don't have a driver installed for that port or my computer just is not seeing it?  

Update........my attachment doesn't show parallel instead it shows serial.......but under parallel, the same thing is displayed......nothing.

Of course I'm including photographic evidence...  :)

Certainly seems like windows is not seeing your port and if windows doesnt see it then unlikely Mach will be able to :(

OK....I reinstalled mach3, reinstalled the parallel port and manually configured it to be the 348 number. 

Could the problem be that it is a PCI Express card slot?  This is my card:
