I've had a runtime error before and sorted it as per this thread http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/127307-eqmod-runtime-error/page__hl__+eqmod%20+runtime%20+error#entry1265365

All sorted deleted the ini file in toolbox

Cheers

Just a follow up to this, make sure to delete all three ini files I.e. game pad, align etc. they can be found in c/users/app data/roaming.

Pleased to see that you manage to sort it.

Like you, (and many others over the years), I've fallen foul to the "failed to load driver EQMOD". In my case using Cartes du Ciel.
Having recently moved to Windows 10 my laptop works fine but my mount-driving-PC is still a pain!
Could you confirm please (for the easily confused), as well as deleting the .ini's in AppData\Roaming\EQMOD,
do I need to do the same for EQMOD_SIM?
And do I need to load the ASCOM Platform again before installing the EQMOD modules?

Thanks,
Dave
