Thank you for the fast response. You ask an excellent question, one that I wondered about myself. The last time I had a fully functioning EFB was for a flight on New Year's Day, 1/1/18. The day before I had installed several Orbx products -- two airports and the Southern CA regional scenery. One of the airports did not install correctly, so I decided to reinstall the new products as well as the Global Base textures. Once everything got worked out, I set up another flight and planned to use EFB as a normally do. That's when the fun started.
On several attempts I received a strange error message. I could not copy the text from my screen for some reason, but I recall it had something about an I.O system error. Because it was an error I had never seen before, I did a search on Google for the error but found nothing that I could use to fix it. That's when I decided to do a fresh reinstallation of EFB and removed the older EFB files.
Other than the Orbx products, I have not added any other programs to my computer or to my sims. My Windows program is set up to do updates automatically, so I don't know if there had been any new updates installed.
All the other programs that I use for simming seem to be working very well. That includes the new Orbx sceneries, Active Sky for P3D, Vpilot, my VA's ACARS, Chase Plane, VatSpy etc.
So I am baffled as to why only EFB is having a problem. Is it possible there are still some old files that I did not delete? Changes to my registry that uninstalling would not remove? I can fly without EFB but as a long-time user of the product, I've come to rely on all the features it offers, especially when I am flying on.
Thanks in advance for your help going forward.
