Gcode won't start spindle HELP!

I have an interesting problem.
I wired up a probotix meteor for Mach3. I got everything to work perfectly but the spindle. The spindle works when you manually hit the start button or F5 but the gcode program won't start it. Am I missing a toggle button somewhere to run spindle with the M3 command? The gcode was generated by vcarve pro and looks looks good.
I've built or converted 3 routers over the years and have never run into this problem before!
Thanks for your help.

If you attach your xml, the code and your M3 macro I will have a look.

Hood, I'll post the XML as soon as I can.
DonMarkey, the system has been restarted several time with no change.
Thanks for the thought though

M3 quit working for me today in the middle of a routine its done a hundred times. I opened M3 in Notepad++ (my favorite editor), resaved it, and it worked again. Ugh.
