I'd suggest trying to start SAS from the Windows Start menu - see yellow program:</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="SASKiwi_0-1758165052862.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://communities.sas.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/110049i8CC4AB3B3CF5D7AD/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="SASKiwi_0-1758165052862.png" alt="SASKiwi_0-1758165052862.png" /></span></P> <P>That should open the SAS Windowing System. If that works OK then there should be no reason you can't get it going from EG. One reason why it might not work is if your licence has expired. Post a screenshot of any errors that are displayed.</P> Thu, 18 Sep 2025 03:15:26 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/New-SAS-User/Run-button-greyed-out-cannot-use-regserver-for-a/m-p/975299#M43479 SASKiwi 2025-09-18T03:15:26Z
