In Windows 8.1, Eraser does not appear in right click context menu. What could be the problem? Eraser 6.20. 2971 installed using admin. I have never had this problem after years of using Eraser on previous Windows versions (XP, 7) edit: Resolved. Installed older version 6.20. 2962 and also...

update viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8571&p=27290#p27290 Used this to Quick Format. Then followed instructions in my first post. It's erasing.

How do I do a quick format of an external HD in a USB enclosure in Win 7 Pro? Also, I do not see any beta (6.2) download available. edit: found this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/16 ... d-usb.html worked

correction: actually, the HD does make some activity sounds during the first 15 seconds or so, but then it stops and the completed with errors appears. I also notice that two tasks appear in the schedule: 'E\' and also 'erase E' (the name I assigned). After this, only 'erase E' is left in the...

I followed these instructions at: http://www.ehow.com/how_6954291_securel ... drive.html Click the "Erase Schedule" button and click the "New Task" menu entry. Under "Task Properties" give a name to your task at the "Task name" text box, and then pick "Run immediately" under "Task Type." Click...

I'll wait as you say and try again. One other concurrent problem which has occurred after yesterday's update is an error message (appearing randomly) "searchfilterhost.exe application error" with some memory dump info. Again, how this relates to Eraser and cli.exe not starting after the update...

XP SP3. System Restore to before yesterday's Windows update and Eraser runs again. Update notification appeared once this was done, but I have now disabled any further updates. I don't know if these would have been a repeat of the updates from yesterday, but I'd rather do without the risk of...

After a Windows update last night for XP 32bit, Eraser won't run. A box appears asking for NET Framework 2.0.50727. This version of NET Framework won't install on my machine. The message is "this version incompatible with a previously installed version". Eraser version is 6.0.8.2273. What can I...

Original Poster here... OK, to format the external USB drive in question (no OS) I clicked My Computer > Manage > Disk Management > (right-click) the external drive and selected "Format". After clicking "yes" at a pop-up asking about something about whether I want to proceed and that "there may...

I have had a problem with Eraser v6.0.8 running on XP Pro SP3 32bit. Here's what happened. - cut then pasted all files on an external storage USB Iomega 300G HD to the computer drive, so the external drive is then empty. - ran Erase Free Space of the external drive using Guttman 35 passes...

The problem is I need the taskbar to appear only when I pass the cursor down there. It's an option that I have been using forever. I am so used to the extra acreage. When the Eraser message causes the taskbar to popup, I need to be always clicking on the message to get rid of it and the taskbar...

Is there a way to stop the Systray popup ("task added/executed") from appearing? Thanks.
