  1. I had trouble with the previous version not working if "hard drive" was selected in debug, but this version won't go beyond the window where you select what is to be analysed. No matter which I choose, it then does nothing. (the window disappears then nothing happens).

    After a few attempts there are several instances of "Speccy" in task manager. All the logs are completely blank.

     

    (Speccy in normal mode freezes just after finding the OS version)

     

    Hope you can find the bug!

  2. Thanks Nergal.

    Will do. Speccy in debug mode didn't crash with anything else selected, their logs have much more information, but if hard drive is selected (either alone or with everything else) the log I've attached is all that appears. Hope they make sense of it!

    Thank you for the log, the developers read all threads so I'm sure they'll look into your log. As yours is also sparce (I assume this log is from a crash though it shows none) please hold on the the dump files incase the developers need them

  3. Thanks Davey,

    the links make very interesting reading!

    Hey Mike,

    Congrats on joining the forum.

    If you use Vista you will have to use a later version of Eraser if that is what you end up using.

    See this thread as to Why we only recommend 5.7 for now.

    In this thread you will also see a link to another product REVO that many other members are using.

    You can also improve your "searching" on the forums by following this fun link.

  4. Dear Davey,

    Please may I ask why version 5.7 rather than the later versions? I've used the search function to find a reason on this forum and on the eraser site forum, but couldn't find out why.

    Hello John,

    CCleaner only cleans and secure deletes files that have not been deleted by some other method,whether manually or by another program.

    This explains why Recuva finds so many deleted but not overwritten files.If you want to wipe old deleted files then you can use Free ERASER 5.7 is used by some members.Be advised to use only version 5.7 .

    It does take awhile to run,sometimes several hours.It all depends how many files and how big the Hard Drive.

    http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/download.php ONLY version 5.7 from source forge ONLY.This is important.

     

    Good Luck,

    :) davey

     

    P.S. ONE (1) overwrite is sufficient for anyone unless they are a spy.More overwrites mean longer run times and more wear and tear on your hard drive.
