Which operating system are you using?

If you are trying to run SAS 9.3 on Windows 10 it isn't supported. Only SAS 9.4 M4 or later is supported.

I think you are the first one I encounter here on the SAS communities who actually uses this POS. All the others either use a Windows Server version, or Windows 7 or Windows 10, and most of the system-related problems happen on 10.

I can only advise to either go back to Windows 7 (which works very well now, as development there has been focused for quite a while now on stability and not on new features), or upgrade to 10 and get the current SAS version (9.4M6) to install on it.

Keep in mind that access to the current version is always included in your SAS license.
