FWIW it works fine here on XP SP2 +hotfixes. edit: scratch that, post reboot it loses my imported scheduler settings

Re: Bugs potentially solved Thank you, I was just going to ask for a list, as there's alot of bugs listed on the bugs forum ;) Excellent work.

Thank you for this... :)

What a surprise, no change in the Download page to indicate that the latest version does not work with <= ME or is it a case of it was fixed and no one was told. Round and round we go. Great product, really poor management from Admins (I hate saying this, but when the simple things are not...

How about updating the download page, so people know what version to get for which OS. Save other people running into problems

report it in the eraser bugs forum. It looks like this functionality was broken in the new release

One work around to this problem would be, rather than deleting to the Recycle Bin and then erasing that. Erase the file rather than delete it first skipping the whole Recycle Bin step

I havn't had any problems importing with it on XP. Is this still an issue for you? If so, would you be willing to share the file you are trying to import (assuming there is nothing too sensitive in it...)

Eraser supports 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, 2000, XP & Vista. I don't have an ME box to test this but unless something drastic changed it should work for you. Can you let us know what version of eraser you are trying to install and any error messages you get.

You could take a copy of the directory listing before and after the erase and compare them :) I do not believe there is a way to do this in eraser its self

Does it happen with the same file type more often than not, say with a video or an mp3?

If you do not need to keep your account on the laptop, I would recommend 1) logging in as admin and erasing the c:\documents and settings\<your> 2) uninstalling any extra software. 3) deleting any of your files out side of c:\documents and settings\<your> 4) wipe free space with eraser...

The checkbox when used in 2k/XP turned on a feature of the OS rather than a part of eraser, it is possible that Microsoft removed this option from Vista.

Expecting a user to edit their registry is not right. An expandable context menu in a future release would be the better option

Is there a way to disable this feature? Can never be too sure what random exe that is being used contains...

Thanks to the good work by the guys at Portableapps.com, there is now a portable version of Eraser 5.82 available http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/eraser_portable

http://www.abanet.org/journal/ereport/jy13tkjasn.html Looks like Vista keeps a lot of information on files and file access that eraser more than likely wont be capable or wiping.

Interesting idea, but I don't think you'll find anyone willing to pay the several hundred euro/dollar/poud price tage these services request when recovering files.

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have trying to come up with a list of the various country/government data sanitizations but apart from the DoD ones I am having a hard time getting any detailed specifics on how they are performed. The main reason I am bringing this up is for...

Localisaton support would be nice. Perhaps suggest it here
