Thanks everyone for the replies. Unfortunately I still haven't been able to uninstall, I've already reinstalled recuva and the error still remains. I tried to do the procedure indicated in the microsoft community pointed out, but I didn't have success either.
I just tried it. The results window remains. I don't know if there is now any controlled ability to save results to use later after shutting down recuva. That would be good to know. For now. I will not shut down the program.
I was using recuva to find pictures and videos on a windows xp hard drive, but I keep getting an internal error message. Does anyone know of an alternative program for recovering broken and damaged files?
You will get no different results if you clear a filter after the scan. Run the scan with no filter then scan then add filter. I believe most of the ignored files are files that are still live, but my fellow moderator @Augeas is better versed. I've moved this thread to the recuva discussion board.
Files are shown in excellent condition. I recovered a few of them which were pdfs, powerpoints & photos. But they wont open for some reason.
Preview of the same photos existed in recuva. What the hell is going on?!?
(I didn't hibernate btw)
