Sbav on Windows 8.1 laods but never runs

ReggieB

I have a Windows 8.1 64 bit HP laptop and trying to run Sbav on it. I can get to where it loads the files onto the local drive and starts Slax. But after that the screen goes black and program never runs.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks

    Hello ReggieB,

    first of all - what's the reason you want to run SBAV (the article is quite clear that it's an emergency solution)?

    Allow me few remarks

    Windows 8.1 64 bit

    It's totally independent of the operating system installed (in fact it will boot even with no disk present). To be useful it needs a recognizable and unencrypted file system though

    loads the files onto the local drive

    it doesn't load onto the local drive (what you think is the local drive is a RAM disk) and it doesn't write to the drive unless explicitly instructed from the Scan menu

    HP laptop

    Slax is (at the moment) stable (that's an euphemism for it hasn't been updated for some time). Though apparently it does boot so basically it should work. What HP laptop model is this? Do you boot from a CD/DVD or some other device?
