I/O Ports Not Responding To The ARC UI Servo Control

I have an ezb v4 that has been on the shelf for several years. (worked when last used). I was on the shelf too so we are both a little dusty so bare with me. When I set up an I/O port in ARC for a servo there is no signal present on the signal pins. I have a scope on them. If i go to the diagnostics page of the ezb's web server and hit the "center all servos" button the pins come to life. I think its something simple but ...?

Thanks DJ My bench supply is a variable voltage/current unit . The ezb was drawing a little over 300 milliamps.  I will dig into this tomorrow.

I will generate a diagnostic log for Mr. Sures today. I've got some "honey dos" to get done first...before I can play:D

From bad to worse... I reset the EZB and then put it back in client mode. Then I re-downloaded and reinstalled ARC. Now when I choose connect, I get a single chime and then the disconnect chimes. The debug window show the following;

Got it! You (Ezang) were right on with your comment about antivirus. I added exceptions to my antivirus and to my firewall but that wasn't good enough. I completely uninstalled the dumb thing and we have controls!
