I will have to reply to this later tonight, my machine is not here, I do know that I installed that computer about 4,5,6 months ago from a freshly downloaded CD from EMC (latest version) and it sat in my house till I got it out to the machine a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what I used to set up the hal pins, this is what I will look at tonight. I think I created a shortcut that is going to the (ini?)files that I am using to start emc. Tonight I will go and clear my config files and run the setup per the tutorial John pointed me to and I will let you know the results.  On my other setups I have not had to run this I have just went in and modified the .ini file and stayed with what thought was a standard pin out on the LPT port.

Let see if this one goes out right on the reply-to
    

Looks like it went to the list only.  

Let me back up a bit because I've just come into this.  

  1 -- You installed from a CD.  Was it 6.06 or 8.08?

  2 -- You started stepconf wizard from the menu and setup some
       parport pins?

  3 -- You started EMC2 from the menu?

And you are getting some aberrant behavior from the motors.  

If these are the three steps you took to get going, the configuration
you are running from is in your home directory under
emc2/configs/my-mill.  If you changed the name during the stepconf
session then it will be under that changed name.
