Z axis does not make contact with material when running code
Machine is WD-1 Windows XP Mach 3 2010 Screen Set Touch plate
Machine was working great. Had to hit stop while running a file and the z access went up and crashed before I could hit the red button. After that everything I run the z always is approximately a 1/16" above my substrate (not cutting in to the material)
Things I have tried...
Turning on and off the machine and the computer wrote new code checked to make sure there were no shorts between the driver and the motor

We resolved this on email, it was the computer. It was an older XP system and I had him run the drivertest.exe in the main Mach3 folder and it failed the test, lots of spikes up and down on the graph.
