hi, I am having the same problem on a Pentium Intel M Laptop by Dell running windows xp sp3 32bit. I downloaded from file hippo. Install went through without a hitch. When I launch the program, a wizard appears and then disappears within seconds. I saw the process start in windows process viewere in task manager, but it instantly goes away. The program runs for literally 1 second then closes itself. I ran the software useing the /debug parameter and came out with this log file:

There was one anti malware suite on the computer, McAfee Firewall, McAfee Browser Protection & McAfee Virus Protection. I have since uninstalled all of those programs, reinstalled recuva to no avail.
I have also tried cleaning out the system using other spyware / a/v suites such as avg, spybot s&d. After performing these tasks, uninstalling & reinstalling recuva, still no go on launching of recuva.
I have deep scanned for viruses and malware, but the system seems pretty well kept up and I don't see any oddities in the computer that would suggest an infection of sorts.
Anyhow, I thought I would throw in my 2 cents as this is absolutely 100% unusable in this scenario with Windows xp sp3. Do you have any other ideas except for some interference by some A/V program?
