Hi, I have been running my 3axis cnc on windows xp for a few years, the computer is tired, so I loaded the program on a newer HP with Vista. The download went fine, the driver test worked first time. The new computer of course did not have a parallel port so I purchased one and installed it. My problem is the program comes up fine however there is no power to the board. I went into device manager and clicked on the parallel port properties, it shows LPT3 , in the Mach program settings the LPT address is 0x378. Is that not the address for LPT1? Any ideas? I know enough about computers to be dangerous, so if you know what is wrong please keep it simple.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Terry
