Recuva takes forever to open in Vista SP2

Recommended Posts

In Vista Recuva takes 2-3 minutes to open. It opens normally in XP. It hasn't always behaved this way but I'm not exactly sure when it started. I updated to the latest version but it still does it. It's installed on C:\, not portable. Auto check for updates is disabled. Anyone else experience this with Vista? Any suggestins for things I might check appreciated.

It was a conflict with my firewall. This program phones home every time you open it, reagardless of "Check for updates" setting. When I allow outgoing connection, Recuva starts right up, but if not allowed, it stalls. I use a different firewall on XP however and it doesn't have the same issue, so it must just be a conflict with the one I have on Vista. Found a workaround though so all is good. :)
