I think got it.   I am running a 64-bit version of windows and at first downloaded a 64bit version of Inkscape.  Is there possible an issue of compatibility with the Eggbot extension and the 64-bit Inkscape?   I just downloaded the 32-bit version of inkscape and created and X86 partition and I seem to be having some luck getting it to work.
Thank you for the quick replys to my questions
