I, too, am getting the message "The parameter is incorrect."
The drive is set to "Removable Disk (D:)", a 4 GB USB drive that I accidentally messed up when reinstalling Windows XP. (I thought it was a partition on my hard drive and deleted it ) Another recovery program found files on this drive (but recovered them to my hard disk), so the drive isn't hopeless. (I was hoping Recuva would do a better job by showing file names and the folder structure.)
The File or Path dropdown is left blank, to scan for all files.
The General Options are English, Tree View, automatically check for updates, simple overwrite.
The Actions are Show files found in hidden system directories, Scan for non-deleted files, and Restore folder structure.
When I click on the Scan button, the message "The parameter is incorrect." appears immediately under the big (empty) results listing box, on the left.
Here's the debug file:
