When you start EFILive without FlashScan V2 connected, then display the Help->About window, what does it show for the Build number and the License level?
One advanced option to try is to revert back to the old USB drivers. To do that you must first uninstall the new USB drivers, then manually install the old drivers.
To uninstall the new drivers:
- Disconnect all EFILive devices.
- Run the program \Program Files\EFILive\Drivers\Utilities\Remove FDTI USB Drivers\CDMuninstallerGUI.exe
- Enter a Vendor ID of 0403 and a Product ID of E4A1, then click [Add], then click [Remove Devices]. Wait for the device(s) to be removed and then click [Cancel].
To install the old drivers:
- Connect FlashScan V2, Windows should indicate that the driver could not be installed for FlashScan V2.
- Right click My Computer and select Properties, then open the Device Manager.
- Expand the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" item (or the "Other Devices" item) and double click on EFILive FlashScan V2.
- Click on the [Update Driver] button and select the option that allows you to browse your computer for the correct drivers.
- Browse to the folder: C:\Program Files\EFILive\Drivers\EFILive\Win-2K (that folder contains the old USB drivers for Win2K, WinXP, Vista and Win7).
- Follow the install wizard until the drivers are installed.
Please post here if downgrading to the old USB drivers fixes the start-up problem.
