After initiating a scan on C:\ I get the following error immediately:



Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

==============================

Sony VAIO VGN-A190, 1.7GHz

Windows XP SP2

That comes from Norton Anti-Virus. When ever I get that, it means I didn't let Norton fully load before I did anything on Windows. If you wait for the icon to turn Green, then you can do what you want to.

Try that...see if Recuva works again

Thanks for the input. However, I'm not using Norton AV. The only restrictive app that I have running is ZoneAlarm Pro. But, I've already tried shutting it down and running Recuva - this didn't work either.

I assumed...a little Google and bam -- hope this helps!

AJ

Well, Dr. Watson wasn't even logging the error. Ugh. So, I disabled Dr. Watson, ran Recuva again and got this:



I'm not sure what to do next, but thanks.

Redownload it...just to see if that does anything.

AJ

OK, I just redownloaded it, uninstalled the previous copy and reinstalled the new d/l. Unfortunately, I'm getting the same error. It's not looking good for me...

Can you run Recuva in debug mode and either post the log here or PM for an email address to send it to.

I really have to apologize for this continuing frustration. I ran Recuva in debug mode as you said, but there was no log file created! From what I read about running in debug mode, the log file is supposed to be created as soon as the app is started, and in the same dir as the exe. There are only 2 files in c:\program files\recuva - recuva.exe and uninst.exe

It was indeed running in debug mode, as indicated by the [debug] after the version number.

Try putting the recuva.exe on a different drive and see if that works in debug mode.
