The above happened with a 1 day old internal disc drive.
When I tried to recuva from ANCIENT (FAT32) I:\Backups on External USB Hard Drive
it found 122 deleted files, none of which I wanted so I closed Recuva.
This left Recuva.exe process resident with about 270 MBytes in use; 460 MBytes Peak.
Upon either the second or third attempt this also locked up when I tried to Browse,
and a similar Hanging application error report occurred.
At this stage Task Manager => Performance => Commit Charge :-
Total = 209124, Limit = 1514196, Peak 692904
I have seen much heavier usage which never caused a crash or failure.
With both D:\ and I:\Backups it appears that the lockup occurs during the :-
second attempt if I click rapidly;
third attempt if I methodically record every consequence before making the next click.
I am using XP Home Edition with SP3, and the Portable build Recuva unzipped into D:\.
n.b. every residual instance of Recuva.exe must be terminated by Task Manager,
otherwise there is a hang-up problem upon shut-down / reboot.
ALSO if each residual process is terminated, and nothing is left visible,
Recuva still does not run at all until a reboot.
