couple of other ideas.

Go to the directory you installed EB into and go to eb/data/ and delete the folder called "loading_screen".

Or right-click on the shortcut to EB and open the properties window. On the target line, you should see the following: "-nm -show_err -mod:eb" at the end of the line. Try deleting the -nm part of that and start up the game.

Or right-click on the shortcut to EB and open the properties window. On the target line add the following to the end: -ne

This will open EB in a window (if your desktop is bigger than the resolution size you play the game at and might solve the problem.

Try these options only after you have tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, and seeing if vanilla works properly.
