PROBLEM SOLVED! I tried changing some of the file attributes for the files I was trying to ERASE. This is a new computer and I had copied my data files to the hard drive from a USB drive. It turns out that the hard drive partition was marked to compress files written to the drive. When I...

The file(s) are not read-only and I am logged in as the only user, i.e., the administrator.

I loaded Version 5.86a for Vista 32 bit. I have been a very long time user of Eraser under XP and have never had a problem. It's very disappointing that I can't use it with Vista. I have gotten everything else set up in Vista and everything works fine, except for Eraser.

I installed ERASER under Vista Ultimate SP1. I am logged in as the administrator and User Account Control is turned OFF. When I try to Erase a file, I get the message "Failed: "Filename"" and am not able to erase any files. Idease please?
