Can't Run Free Recuva

I downloaded the free program, going through the process of running it, do I have to have Google Chrome to use this program? Because when the screen comes up asking if I want to have Google Chrome (I don't want) there is no way to get past that screen.

What am I doing wrong?

Also should I find that the free version isn't enough for what I need, and I purchase the next step up, am I required to have Google Chrome on my system?

I am running Window XP.

Thanks for your time.

Recuva is free. Download here. If you are offered the Google options, just ā˜untick them.

The first three times of I downloaded the program I wasn't given that option, just the back button and cancel button that is why I wrote to the group. I retried this morning and l option was there. Go figure, I know I ain't that dumb on a computer. Thanks.

When you're installing, there's sometimes a slight delay at one point before the opt-out options appear, so it's very easy to click past that point without ever seeing them.

You're not the first to completely miss the opt-out choice.
