Can you add I've moved the image from your other topic here, I've closed that one, as this is a bug report so this thread is more correctly placed.

ok so any suggestions?

We, the user community forum, need a lot more information than what you've provided to even postulate on this crash.

1) Windows version?

2) recuva version number?

3) is this a one time crash, or is it repeatable?

4) what scanning settings do you have set?

5) are you attemping to recover a certain (deleted) file? Or are you working with a formatted drive?

6) to your knowledge, how is the health of the drive? Is it and hard drive, a SSD a usb stick? If HDD/SSD is it external or internal?

7) are you attempting to recover the file to a different drive?

Edit: Ok in your image I see you have the professional version. This does grant you priority developer support (for a year after purchase). They may be able provide better/faster aid than the user community can, so you might wish to look into that (though rhey will need the same information I asked for above.

Edit 2: I now also realize questions 1 & 2 are answered in the image.
