FAQ
Q: What does „Create process failed: code 740. The requested operation requires elevation.” mean?
A: This was an error in the installer of Version 0.1 if you tried to start ShadowExplorer at the end of the setup. Please update to a more up to date version of ShadowExplorer.
Q: When I start ShadowExplorer it is entirely blank, what am I doing wrong?
A: At the moment, ShadowExplorer requires administrator privileges to function correctly. There is an embedded UAC manifest that should ensure this at startup. However, certain users reported this is not happening. As a temporary workaround, try to run ShadowExplorer with administrator privileges manually: Right click the link on the desktop or in the start menu and choose: Run as administrator.
Q: ShadowExplorer is still entirely blank , even when I run it as administrator, what's wrong?
A: There seems to be a problem with System Restore when TrueCrypt is beeing used. The problem persists only as long as a volume is mounted. Try to dismount the disk and restart ShadowExplorer. Another solution is to mount volumes as removable media (in TrueCrypt: Settings -> Preferences... -> Mount volumes as removable media (check) -> OK).
Q: I did all of the above and ShadowExplorer is stil blank, what can I do now?
A: Make sure System Restore of Windows Vista is fully working. If you think it is and ShadowExplorer should work aswell, please use the contact form. Please include as many details as possible (Windows Version, Service Pack, ShadowExplorer version).
Q: Will ShadowExplorer work on Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP?
A: As far as we know it won't. It's designed to work on Windows Vista and it seems to work on Windows Server 2003 aswell.
