Downloaded, installed and registered without issue.

Ran scans with this and Recuva for comparison.

The vendors state on their website:

'The most important feature of MultiStage Recovery is that it finds everything that can be actually recovered. This is not the case with competitors of MultiStage Recovery, whose software often finds and displays non-recoverable files just to boost their recovery claims.'

This is not the case and many files that it found were corrupt.

'the tool has incredibly fast scan of hard drives'

The scan is very slow indeed.

'MultiStage Recovery has user-friendly interface that offers users a truly straightforward and satisfying experience. No special skills are required, and the program is absolutely suitable even for a newbie to computers.'

It is not as straightforward as it should be and newbies may well face some confusion.

Recuva was faster, salvaged more usable files and was more user friendly, so unfortunately I cannot recommend this software, even for free compared to other solutions.

Oh dear, I must be doing something incorrectly as I downloaded, installed and registered (it said registration was successful) - but the moment I attempted to use it, got the below:

"MultiStage-Recovery.exe ... Abnormal Program Termination"

And the second time I tried opening it, instantly got a little window pop up saying:

"MultiStage Recovery 4 ... Access violation at address 0065DCC in module' MultiStage-Recovery.exe'. Read of address 0000004."

Did notice when wandering around the program's homepage it meantions it was now working for Windows 7 - so perhaps I missed a section saying it no longer works with Windows XP?

Anyway, really appreciate being able to try new programs here - thanks so much!

Multistage Recovery 4.1

Here we go again. This is another in a series of bad jokes programs. This is a program to be able to restore all files. Wholly unconditional. Sounds great. Only one problem. The program does not work. First of all, the program can only find certain file types. You can program it to find more.What it finds is random junk of 2048 characters. Most popular is *. arj. Has never been any *. arj on the test partition. The program has a tendency to crash.

Attempts were made also on the C: partition. It went better. The program found useful files. The problem is that the majority are over-written. Completely useless. But the program has no function, to show this. But you have to go through, file by file, and check. This program has too many flaws. Prefer to use Recuva.

Hi,

I installed on Win 7 Pro 64-bit and I got the following error:
Access violation at address 00652E1D in module 'MultiStage_Recovery.exe'. Read of address 00000027.
Entered activation code, received successfully activated message but when I wanted to close the application the first error message appeared again (with addresses numbers changed). I hope this will help the developpers. Thanks GAOTD!
