Hi, I have problem with run of this program on Windows 2000 .
Installation is correct (....i downloaded some old versions too ) , but after run this program write - "Error Acessing Device: Bad function" and "Cannot change Visible in OnShow or OnHide" - After this i look only on clear page in program window . What be missing in my system ? ...

I have new installed Windows 2000 SP4 on two computers with same symptoms , under XP this program work correctly.

Any suggestion ??? , Thanks

Maybe this program using some functions which are absent in Win2K?

OK, now I found this thread, sorry ...

I just used FileMon while starting HDD LLF, and it shows that LLFTOOL.EXE is trying to open LLFTOOL.DEU, LLFTOOL.DEU.DLL, LLFTOOL.DE, LLFTOOL.DE.DLL in its directory, and then searching its own and the system directories for a uxtheme.dll, all of which are not found.
Is that uxtheme.dll the problem? I don't know why LLFTOOL would want to use that at all ...

MOW

Hi

What version you are using?

ops sorry... 2.36 build 1181.

Ok... Since this bug seems to appear not only on win2k PCs I will try to debug it. By the way what was the error message?

take any moment's...... i make some screenshot...

Edit:
I just start the program... the first error:

After Press "OK"... second error:

And Finally... The Empty Windows of the programs:


If you are need more information about my PC... please Ask Me.

Thanks for screenshots!
I will work on this on weekend.

By the way, do you have any USB or firewire devices connected? Maybe some flash readers, storage devices etc?
What about SCSI boards?

That might help

no... my firewire it's unused...
actually i have some cable connect on usb port but then the respective devices are not connected... i have only a convertor for joy PS2 to PC and my Microsoft mouse....

Ok, thanks for the info... Still cannot find the problem. Looking further...

ok.. thanks...

Hi I'm new in this forum, I have the same problem with Hard disk wipe tool 2.35 build 1178, on a laptop computer without usb disk or compact flash pcmcia conected.


regards,

claude

The same happened on my machine and I was using it on a USB external drive, it started doing this problem when I had a USB hub connect and the external dive connected to it.

I am not sure why, but I hope this infomation could help

Regs.

Hi guys,

Has there been any developments on getting this issue fixed? I've run into the same problem using both HDDWipe and HDD LLF, on a Windows 2000 SP4 system, no USB devices attached, one system IDE HDD, one SCSI HDD attached via PCI card.

Same error messages when opening either program:
- 'Error accessing device: Incorrect function'
- 'Cannot change Visible in OnShow or OnHide'

Same Problem here.

The Program ran once as it should - but after quitting and restarting or even deinstalling and reinstalling: no way, always that Problem!

Disk Wipe Tool has same problem!

Hey boys... on the same computer i have posted some reply ago....but now with the same XP Professional upgraded with Service Pack 3 this programs working without problems!

SOLUTION!

I can confirm that Disk Wipe and LLF were both generating this error message on my Dell E4300 (XP SP3) and IBM x60 (win7x86) - the E4300 has definitely been able to run LLF in the past.

EJECT THE SD CARDS

Job done
