    I'm having the same error; found some log files that may help in the C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VKernel\StorageVIEW?

    SVService.log
    StorageView.log

    In the StorageView.log file I'm getting the following error:
    File read error: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VKernel\StorageVIEW\StorageView.dat' because it is being used by another process.

    Shutting down the storageview app, restarting the Vkernal storage service, hasn't helped.

    The SVService.log is showing...

  • Thank you for all of the information!

    This is a known bug and it will be fixed in the next release. In the meanwhile, if you’re looking to get better storage performance visibility, I might recommend taking a peek at the trial of performance analyzer:

    Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help.

    Thank you!

    Perhaps you should let your sales staff know so they don't send out emails advertising a product that doesn't work! vEmbarrassing.

    sad I’m frustrated
    About three months after someone mentioned it and its still broken.

    I wish they had put a disclaimer on the site I DL it from and those emails saying "come try our product" about this.

    Any idea when this will be fixed? Seems odd that 6 months or so later, the buggy version is still apparently around for download...
