are you cross posting this to the mach 3 forum site or the yahoo group ?????? this is kind of the wrong place. I am assuming you are doing this on the bench and not with them connected to the machine

Do the motors lock up when you turn on the power supply. If they don't, then you have it wired wrong.
If they do lock up, Do you have the correct port and pins set in Mach3? Can you post a screenshot of the ports and pins page?
Do the DRO's change in Mach3 when you try to move?

I had my wiring connected wrong, that's why there was trouble with the motors, also I supposed to un-check in Ports and pins/Output pins/Active low because my parallel port is connections are reversed, after doing that my motor s are turning fine, thanks for your help guys.
