Grabbed it. Thanks rendez2k.

 

Hi rendez2k,
Sorry for missing your post and starting another thread. I have included the download links here for reference:

Hmmm, problem already. I now get an error during windows boot up saying "error 189038 Status 0 x". Windows continues to load and Returnil looks like its loaded unprotected, but if I try and enable it I get a "the system cannot find the specified file" error.

A few bits about my current system:

Have an XP Pro HDD and a Vista HDD installed (testing with XP Pro SP2)
Have FDISR installed
Have ESET Smart Security 2 Beta installed
Have both SATA and IDE drives installed
Didn't install the virtual drive

Any ideas?

 

rendez2k,
Have you tried a complete uninstall and then reinstall? By complete I mean to make sure all traces are removed prior to reinstall.

Mike

 

Can someone confirm if the Perfect Disk Boot Time Defrag problem is fixed?

 

Do you mean clear the registry out? I hadn't but I can do. Anywhere else I should be looking?

 

Yes

Mike

 

OK, I need to look into this more tomorrow. I've managed to get it to install by reinstalling 1.6, uninstalling, cleaning the registry then disabling my IDE drive (not sure which bit helped yet). Then I installed 1.7 without error and it was working, but.... on disabling Returnil and rebooting (and I re-enabled my IDE drive so I'm not sure if thats the issue) all my changes and file deletions kept, so I need to experiment more.

 

rendez2k,
Are you running SATA and IDE drives on this system?

Also what is displayed after "Protected Partition:" under the System Protection section of the Main Screen?

 

Yes 3x SATA (main drive + data) and 1x IDE (data).

Protected Partition: c:\ [Harddisc0\Partition1] which I think is wrong as c:\ is disc 1.

rendez2k,
Thanks for the report and will flag this to development.

Mike

 

No probs. I'm happy to test further if required.

 

Xp install on a sata drive.

Installed over the top of the old version which seemed to go ok.

Noticed in the install folder there is a RvsMover utility which doesn't seem accessible through the gui or start menu.

Is that by design or maybe my installing over the top.

With Vista and regards to Superfetch loading apps into memory.

Can this be a problem "if" superfetch and Returnil are using different memory blocks to run applications.

 

Any word on if they fixed the compatibility issues with Perfect Disk 8?

 

XP and PD 7.

Still one error there for an offline defrag.Think there used to be two?

Will try Vista and PD 8 when I have that drive plugged in or maybe someone else could try.

 

Coldmoon I have two computers. One has two IDE drives and the newer one has a SATA and an IDE drive.The new Returnil works great on the computer with two IDE drives, but I get the ERROR on the one with a SATA and IDE drives.

 

Hi William,
I have discussed this with the lead developer in addition to the report from rendez2k. He has performed extensive internal testing to try and reproduce this in his lab, but has not been successful (IE, the software works as expected on his test rigs).

He is however working on a different solution to address this and we should see an update for a build in this series to test the new methodology.

Mike

 

Hello Franklin,
I apologize for missing this question yesterday. We are working on a new version of RvsMover for inclusion in future builds and is part of the Business Edition installation. During the testing, this utility will be included and updated when possible.

It will not interfer with any other programs and does not run or activate unless the user opens it on purpose. For more information, see the the first few pages of the "Returnil" mega-thread where it is shown (screen shots) and described in greater detail.

Mike

 

New Builds available

See this post for the download links:
https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=184101

RVS Personal Edition (Build 1.70.6160)

Updated:

*Spanish, Portuguese, and Brazilian Portuguese language support

The problem that I had with 1577 is gone with 6160. Great work and a great program.

 

Returnil still doing fine here,very stable ! Installed Returnil again after trialing Shadow Defender and the mesh it created on my systems.

 

Mesh it created on your system? Care to elborate? The comments at the Shadow Defender Thread seems to be all positive

 

New beta now working with IDE/SATA drives - good work! Whats the deal with the free business licence for helping with the betas

 

Thanks for the confirmation rendez2k. The offer is for a free, one-year license for the Business Edition for those testers who provide consistent feedback that helps us to improve the software for all users as a thank you for thier efforts.

Mike
