Vista and Express HD 2.0.215

[rs_]

As many others, I also experienced the "updating status…" problems after installing EMC Restrospective Express 2.0 HD on Windows Vista.

 

Windows Vista Enterprise 32-bit SP1

EMC Restrospective Express 2.0 HD v2.0.215

 

I tried all the tricks I could find, de-installing, cleaning up files and registry, rebooting, turning off Windows Firewall/Defender, etc, etc. Nothing worked. After about 5 hours of frustration I decided to check the WD website and strangely enough there was only an older version, v2.0.214.

 

I have now installed this version and it works like a breeze first time around.

 

So if you bought a WD drive over the last 6-9 months and ended up with v2.0.215 and get the same problems, simply downgrade.

 

Of course it doesn’t solve the problem why v2.0.215 is not working …

 

Best of luck
