COMODO DiskShield 1.0.51539.35 BETA Bug Reports

[panic]

guys thanks for helping
but it refused even to shield the drive windows installed on
hope I have other option or some hidden ways to get the shield

DiskShield builds its cache file on disk and therefore must have sufficient room to create the cache file.

How much free space is available on the drive that DiskShield is installed on (regardless of what disk you are trying to shield)?

Are your drives configured as dynamic disks?

Ewen :-)

thanks panic for your explaining I've at least 2 GB free of 10GB (one of my drives)
as to second question, I didn't get you sorry, what you mean by saying this (configured as dynamic disks)

Windows Xp SP3

Startup slowdown.  It takes me usually 4-6 to boot up.  With CDS it takes me 14-17 min to boot up.  Lags too long for me compared to other deep freeze software ive seen.

This is not just a bug report.  Diskshield has screwed up my Vista installation beyond my ability to repair it.  I'm very unhappy.  If I have to reinstall Vista, it'll take me a week to get things back to the way they are now.

1. Vista x64 SP1
2. 64-bit
3. Windows Defender, Avast Antivirus
4.

I installed it and suddenly I had no write access to any of my drives.  The configuration utility says it's not working correctly and that protection is disabled for each of my three drives.  As soon as I installed it, I got a Windows error saying that Windows Defender could not access its history or something.  When I reboot Windows, I get an error saying that Windows Defender could not start because it could not write to some file.  I suppose this is the reason I can't connect to the internet either.  No other program can write to file either.   I tried exiting Diskshield.  I tried unchecking start with Windows.  Neither helped.  I tried uninstalling DiskShield, and of course, that doesn't work because it can't write to the drive in order to uninstall itself.  I tried stopping the service.  That didn't help.  I tried doing System Restore to a point prior to installing Comodo Diskshield.  That didn't work.  So now I'm stuck.  Please help me.  I know this is beta, but I didn't expect that to imply it might ruin my Windows installation.  I think you're obligated to give me some technical support here.  Thanks.

Have you tried booting into "Safe Mode" and getting rid. Also in the RUN box type in sevices.msc and look for anything related to Diskshield and set to Disabled.

well, it's no longer installed since i did a system restore, but the problem still persists.   and the 'comodo diskshield' is no longer a service listed in services.msc.

I tried reinstalling diskshield, then booting in safemood and uninstalling.  but i couldn't uninstall it; a message popped up saying the windows installer could not be accessed.  then i rebooted again and 'programs and features' is no longer an option in Settings.  btw, i was wrong about categorically not being able to write to the drives. i did a simple echo > blah.txt and it worked.  but my windows is still broken nonetheless.

try fixing the important files, you might need your windows cd. start -> run -> cmd -> type "sfc /scannow" just like it is without the quotes. It will try to repair the windows files.

I found out I can connect to the internet.  I just had to click and scan networks and re-save the connection for some reason.  I thought the problem was windows defender, but it's not.  as far i know right now, windows defender is the only thing that's broken.  so i'm not so angry now:p

'programs and features' is still missing, though, meaning I can't uninstall anything.  and i tried downloading and reinstalling Windows Installer, but it says 'not enough storage is available to process this command', even though i have 12 Gb free.

i did run sfc /scannow

from looking through forums on the web, it seems my system got compromised by a trojan, and it may have been by something other than diskshield which i ran, so i'll stop bugging you guys.  guess i may have to reinstall vista.

try running malwarebytes and superantispyware, they might find leftover stuff.
