It's not any good when "a digitally signed driver is required" and there's no way to contact them about it. Even if it's free.

I think I got it installed, but now I can't get an activation email from Paragon. It says there's time left, but so far, nothing.

I guess I'll just have to depend on Macrium.

Strange, but I got the email almost immediately - maybe their servers are a bit overloaded - as you know email servers queue stuff and may take a while before they are released...

That driver thingy is also a bit wonky - non-descriptive to say the least...

When I went back and tried again, the driver thingy came back up, so I'm assuming that although Paragon shows to be installed, it isn't actually. As to the lack of an email, it's possible that until the app's completely installed and "phones home" I won't get one.

Of course, all this is only a WAG.

I did my best to contact them, but no matter how I try, I keep encountering the need for a password, and that can't happen until Paragon emails me. Sigh . . .

Hi,

The driver in question is this one:



Cheers,

OK, but what do I do about it? I'm at a loss.

Perhaps uninstall it and try again

Already done that, but no cigar.

Hi,



I made a back up regardless of the error. It worked but it generates quite a few errors in Event Viewer.
Since I'm quite a fan of MR Free I just uninstalled the Paragon software.

I haven't used my key yet so if you want it I can mail it to you if you like.

Cheers,

Nah, I'm finished fooling with it. I'm glad for all those who got things installed and working, but I think I'm going to stick with MR Free too. Maybe next time.

Thanks anyway.
