Perfect disk = blue screen

Good point Eliot. I've read about this, but seem to have forgotten...
quite possibly 'cause I'm not on pro. Thanks.

Welcome.

 

Thanks that worked but I still only have 3 tabs and it's already set to full control

edit - ok now I see - some have 3 some have more. I will set controls for drives

**edit**

still does not work -

it was functioning before - just not defragmenting because of locked files - but now - since uninstalling, installing several times, it does not work at all.

 

OK, now I'm curious.......have you seen this from Raxco, there's a script on the page addressing that lousy sp2 firewall...

http://www.raxco.com/support/windows/pd60/perfectdisk60_faqs.cfm#23

Did you happen to follow up with Raxco support?
Any mention of problems encountered with sp2 by them?

edit : Fully agree with Peter. Get on the horn with those guys!


GF

 

Thanks. Yes, i've been in contact. None of the possible solutions, posted here and from Raxco, have worked.

 

This is a tuffy, courtesy I'm sure of sp2. Had some trouble locating a specific page to address you issue Lynch, the best I could come up with for the evening covers info on DEP . Few examples on the page for lightening up sp2's Data Execution Prevention. Try a few searches on this...and.......
I'll keep you in mind.

GF

 

thanks global.

 

Hi-

I read Raxco's response. Maybe he was simply responding to the BSOD issue, and possibly suggesting that you uninstall PD in the safe mode.

If you can, maybe you can RE-install PD 6 in order to reinstall its uninstaller and then get a complete uninstall in the safe mode.

Anyway, hope you let us know what happens

- HandsOff

P.S. it seems odd that error happens while uninstalling the installation files. I don't know what location you are installing from, I assume you are installing to the default location. Maybe creating different folders would help?

 

I use "Your Uninstaller! 2004" - then removed RAXCO folder and tried to install 7 but will blue screen - I then tried to install 6 and did so without issue - but it will not run now.

I have uninstalled reinstalled 6 successfully several times but never 7. (hehe, how successful when it won't run though)

 

Just a wild thought (only recently picked up on "Your Uninstaller" being an actual program, geeesh ), was YU used to install/uninstall PD successfully, and did it run properly after sp2?

Now I know PD is an M$ certified app.....would there be an MSI file included with the installation package (of PD7) that should be imported elsewhere (active directory? It supposedly utilizes the Windows Installer)? I don't know too much
about this prog, do you use it for installs too (excuse me if I didn't check the stats on this prog...looking for "the page").
Did you mention the use of this prog to Raxco? Pardon the questions, Just running out of terms to search...

BTW, does chkdsk report OK?
Still tuffy...

Re. Security Tab

Do you have "Use Simple File Sharing" still ticked in Folder Options?

To see the Security tab requires that you NOT have the Simple option ticked (see screen clip).

Don't know if this will help your BSOD but it's all I can offer

Cheers

 

I have security tab now.

 

Hi There FredC, And Welcome To Wilders!

Happy to see the additional input...

Anything you can add is always welcome (though Lynch kind of didn't offer me much feedback to my questions... )
It's all about helping each other and having a good time. Hoping you enjoy the community!

GF

 

- sorry, either I did not understand or I already answered in previous posts. I will review and see what I missed.

**edit -

PD7 is an exe
chkdsk report OK
