hi guys,
it took me a while to register, but I finally thought after the last update from Recuva that it was about time. I've had the same issue with all versions following 1.28: ie 1.29, 1.30, 1.31, 132 & 1.33. I can't scan one of my partition with those. And guess what, I have my Thunderbird profile (EFS encrypted) on it, and as soon as I move this profile to another partition, I can scan the other one.
So, whenever I attempt to scan this partition where my thunderbord profile is located, I get the message, in Recuva status bar: unable to recover encrypted file ... which doesn't make sense as I haven't had the opportunity to attempt to recover anything yet...ie the drive cannot be scanned.
My best guess is that since Recuva has the ability to recover deleted thunderbird mails, there's an issue as those I delete are unrecoverable as they were EFS encrypted. Again, I do not want to recover those deleted mails, but just to scan the drive where this profile is located, amongst other things.
The latest version that doesn't have this issue is version 1.28. Thanks for your help
