SSD Toolbox: No Optimization due to " Volume Shadow Copy Service data"

[idata]

Hi all and support!

In an other thread some users had problems running the new optimizer in the SSD Toolbox 1.2.

Me too - 😉

Running XP pro 32 bit with system recovery disabled (via ssd tweaker util) and volume shadow copy service (vssvc.exe) manually disabled.

There are no system recovery points stored. Additionally I stopped all services that are bound to the backup software Acronis True Image Home

that I have installed. Even when starting XP in secured mode (German: Abgesicherter Modus via F8 at start time) the optimizer didn't start.

Version 1.1 worked so far I could see - I didn't check the variation of access times.

Any hint or clue?

I just come up with a really simple hack without modify vssadmin.exe,

here is the video

in text

just run cmd.exe

click title bar

select defaults

change default codepage to 437 (OEM - United States)

click ok

and you are done

Dear AndCycle and GSzabo!

You did a great job! Thx a lot - hopefully that the responsibles at Intel will use

your informations to fix the coming version of the toolbox.

I preferred to change my german version to the international "vssadmin.exe".

The windows service which pretends overwriting system files has to be tricked:

Deleting the german file in the DLL-Cache allowed copying the engish version

to system32 directory...

So we can state: problem fixed... 😉

Still not sorted 😞

Not only am I already running English (British English not American English) but I also can't change the codepage from the CMD title bar.

OK I'm missing something here but what is it?

Toolbox V1.2 trim still doesn't run on my XP64 system.

you said you are using xp 64,

I know this have been mentioned in this thread,

but have you tried the patch mentioned in readme?
