Unfortunately, my comments never made it to the descriptions section of the first post. Here is a summary of what was left out:

 

After updating to DCS 2.7, I wanted to see how it was to view the sim using the HP Reverb G2 headset. When finished, I attempted to append the following after dcs.exe --force_disable_VR, which worked well with the previous version to startup in non-VR mode. In this case, it did not work with version 2.7, and would lockup DCS with no image. I had to use CTL ALT DEL to get the sim to halt before I could progress further

 

It was suggested in another forum, that I perform a Repair. I did the Repair, and now I get the following error message (see below):

 

Is this issue fixable, or will do I need to do a complete uninstall and reinstall?

Hi @Bingo41. Please ensure your DCS.exe has the "Run as administrator" option disabled.

Thanks Flappie for the tip!

I have fixed my problem by running your program as an administrator.
