Okay Thanks so much!

What do you suggest I put the enables set to for the port and pin for my limit switches?

First thing you need to do is you need to set the axis up correctly in ports and pins.

Yes, and I believe i have the axises connected properly to the control box ,as well as the other wires,i have a parellel port connection through the control box to my computer but still nothing, is it not as simple as just connecting the wires and using the demo.  thanks

It is as simple as that as long as you have the correct ports and pins assigned.
If you attach your xml I will have a look to see if your config has any issues.
