Hi Hazelnut and Nergal,
Sorry for late reply, I was away for few days...
I followed your suggestion today, I disabled the Norton Internet Security 2010,
Uninstalled the Recuva using Revo Uninstaller, reinstalled the freshly downloaded
Recuva 1.38 from your website....same problem (no problem when installed Recuva but
when I tried to open it just flashes then disappears). I am not a techie...so don't know
where to look for evidents, if you have time and do not mind telling me I will be more than willing to try
my computer is a Dell Vostro 400,30 month old, winXP Sp2 originaly (now sp3),1 new 500GB SATA2 hard drive added,
2 partitions, Quad6600, 3GB DDR2 Ram, fresh Installed winXP-sp2 one week ago, upgraded to SP3 and all updates provided
from Microsoft,then I install RECUVA 3 times, all failed to open, then I installed Word 2003, Mircosoft Works 9, Office 2003 (the reason I mention these because it comes with a warning from Dell CD that I have to install all 3, with a specific order/sequence, otherwise problems,
of course I do not want Works 9...but I went along...It also Installed PowerPoint 2007 automatically
without my consent or intervention but the PowerPoint turned out a non functional(not working) but it's still
shown in windows "Add/Remove", of course I removed it last night. I formatted the previous 320GB hard drive the removed from the computer.
(at the time of installing RECUVA there are 2 hard drives, both have windows XP, but for sure the computer was booted from the new drive,
where the Recuva also resides), I also have TrueCrypt, using only
for external USB drive ( no TC files/container on computer), a Magic Disk software for use with a Dictionary ( so I don't
need to load CD in each time I want to use). I also installed Microsoft NetFrameWork 3.5 because Dell CD requires it when I want
to reload some of its drivers (had to try a few times, not a smooth install, the problems are well documented anyway), I also have Adobe reader, Flash
and AIR (which I did not want, it installed automatically, I did not remove it, don't want any problem) Those are major things in my computer at the moment which I can think of may be causing problem ?
Thank you for your patience
