Hi, I am working on a profile for my cessna, and so far was getting on ok.

However, I notice that as I use the software, it gets very slow to the point I must restart my pc.

Now, I am having the issue that the program does not load at all. I click it, brief circle appears and then nothing. I tried the following to no success:

1, Start as administrator

2, Remove previously used .mcc

3, Run in compatibility mode of previous window.

This has happened minutes after I restarted, and now after many reboots, turning pc off I can no longer load MF connector. Help!

Update, I tried the solution someone elsewhere suggested to disable and re enable the ports. This has if anything made it worse. Now my connector will not start unless the boards are disconnected, and then when connected are not recognised.

Update 2. I reinstalled the Arduino drivers. Still nothing. I can’t tell you how frustrating this is. I was making great progress on this and for it to inexplicably stop working for no apparent reason is driving me insane.

Update 3, deleted redownloaded mobiflight connector. Still not working. However, I am finding it WILL load if I unplug the Arduino boards (I have 2 Arduino mega). When I plug them back in they are not recognised so I’m thinking it’s a hardware issue. How do I reset the boards, even if I need to start the upload from start?

Thats confusing. Not get this problems or heard about the last time.

If possible confirm your USB Drivers and also all drivers for Mainboard ( like intel drivers) are UpToDate ...... Including the BIOS !

I know this is a bad comment and not a real hint.... But when did you "celanup" your computer last time ?
For me i will do this mostly 1-2 times per year. So a full "format c:" and a new installation of Windows and all Drivers from newest releases.

NOTE: I not say a cleanup will help. Maybe you got a complete different Problem. But this is often a good idea and solve those problems!
Good Luck !
