What has changed since it worked?
If your site's SAS representative can't help open a track to SAS tech support could be the next step.

Your problem looks similar to this one so I'd try the same suggestions:

unfortunitally, it did not work.

Maybe you should try deleting just EGOptions.xml (in C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SAS\EnterpriseGu​ide\7.1\).
