The download page no longer seems to indicate which builds are "stable". What is latest stable build for Windows 10, 64 bit?

OK, you got my interest and I decided to try Eraser 6.0.10.2620 again following the hints (nothing to lose except perhaps some time). I uninstalled my older version, looked for everything in start/search that said Eraser and deleted it except for the install *.exe files, and ran Regedit to...

Joel - Thanks for the reply. I am currently running with the previous version you sent me back in 2010 which, as indicated earlier, I was able to find in my e-mail archive and re-install. Except for all the lower level messages which are too numerous to actually check, it seems to work OK. My...

Garrett, thanks for your reply, although it seems to be for the other person posting on this chain. Sorry for my slow response. Actually, I had just about given up on getting any response. To resolve my problem, I uninstalled v. 6.0.10.2620. Rather than give up completely, I went into my old...

Well it still didn't work. I uninstalled v. 6.0.10.2620, then found and installed old v.5.8.8. It installed OK, and I was able to erase a file if run as administrator. I then uninstalled 5.8.8 as suggested. I then downloaded v. 6.0.10.2620 and installed. Did exactly the same thing as before...

I have not used v. 5.8.8 since 2010. Are you suggesting that I uninstall the non-working v. 6.0.10.2620 and then re-install the old v. 5.8.8? Will it work with Win7 Home 64? Where would I find it? Last time I did that in 2010 it didn't work for on my Win7 64 laptop. At that time I ended up...

Ughhh... I uninstalled Eraser v.6.1.0.2221. I searched and deleted all files with eraser in the name on my C: drive. I then downloaded and installed stable v. 6.0.10.2620. I got no error messages and it seemed to finish installing without a problem. However, when I tried to run it as...

Humm... I guess no one is interested in my questions. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling the newer version and report what happens. I guess if there are problems someone might then step up and help me.

I am an occasional user and infrequently visit this site. Since I hadn't been here in quite a while, I checked for updates and found that there is no update for version for 6.1 beta. It is recommended now to install stable version 6.0.10 for most users. The version I have now is 6.1.0.2284 and...

Thanks for the help. After uninstalling, cleaning registry, and all files with eraser in the name, Eraser 6.1.0.2221 is now working fine. Thanks Joel for the install file and guidance on creating dump files. Turns out a dump wasn't needed after this latest uninstall and reinstall cycle...

Well I'm not sure what's different, but 6.1.0.2221 obtained from Joel is now working fine. I just uninstalled and cleaned up as before, but this time it worked with no problem when re-installed. No idea what's different this time. Thanks for your patience and all the time spent helping me...

David - Yes, I used the registry cleaner in CCleaner. I will try regedit, but I have never done this in Win7 and it may take me a while to figure it out. When I do I'll try another uninstall and cleanup. Joel - Excuse my ignorance but what is PM?

Ok, I checked again for Eraser 6 file as suggested with winkey+r . There was no Eraser 6 folder. I then uninstalled and deleted all files with "eraser" in file or folder name. I ran CCleaner. Then I downloaded and installed v. 6.0.8.2182 . Installation seemed normal. When it finished I...

I could not find any file named Task List.ersx . There was also no folder named C:\<Your User Name>\Appdata\Local\Eraser 6\ . I have enabled viewing system files and folders and can see lots of items in C:\<Your User Name>\Appdata\Local\... that are system files. Installation remains in same...

Sorry about not being so clear. Hopefully this helps. Eraser 5.8.8 was completely uninstalled. Registry was cleaned with CCleaner, and all files and folders with Eraser in name were deleted. I ran Windows Explorer as Administrator, searched whole C-drive and deleted everthing found. I had to...

Don't know about root certificates. So far as I know all available Win7 updates are installed on this machine. This notebook was upgraded from Vista to Win7 in Jan. 2010. It is also running Norton Internet Security 2010. The installation seems to complete normally, but everytime I reboot...

Humm.... Thanks for the suggestions. I followed them and installed 6.0.7.1893. Install seems to go correctly, but get message that "Eraser has stopped working, Windows is checking for ..." This error message is in a pop up that promptly disappears. The icon in system tray does not appear. I...

I am an occasional user of Eraser and currently 5.8.8 is installed on my Win7 64 bit notebook. I had trouble with previous versions of Eraser v.6 on this machine and went back to 5.8.8 because I wanted reliable stability for my occasional use. I looks like there is enough v6 stability and...

Are you sure, that's also true for v.5? I am positive that the Win7 notebook computer went to sleep during the unused space erasure using v5.8.8. You are likely quite right about something else maybe causing it to re-boot. I also found that quite mysterious. Anyway v.5 seems to work fine now...

Thanks both of you. I got it to work after David's hint. I'm not a system guy so most of this administrator stuff is new to me since recent move to Vista and now Win7. For me, XP was just fine. I did find that I forgot to turn off sleep mode in order to get the erasing of unused space to ever...
