Seems it is only effecting my External Hard Drive, tried on another usb, works fine!
Wonder why it is not working on the external hard drive. I think it is going bad  
What does everything else think?

Hi, @RECdevicehelper , I've just tested to run WRT from a external hard-drive and i haven't found none of the problems. Maybe that HDD has problems? You could try to run a chkdsk on that hard drive, and also give it a look with CrystalDiskInfo, to check the SMART status.

Just two things: the AV must be disabled before the Nirsoft password recovery tools are executed (because of false positives); and the loading time of WRT is different from machine to machine.

But if you find an instance were the program doesn't load, and just sits on the "Loading...please wait..." screen, please let me know, because shouldn't happen. What should happen is that if WRT cannot load something, it should trow an error regarding that monitor, and continue to start. Anyway I'll probably have to try to create a "safe mode", were WRT starts bare-bones without any of the monitors, to those machines that are fubared...

I have a suggestion for an app called Belarc Advisor...

This program has been around for a very long time, It's good for taking inventory of all sorts of things on a system like...OS Info, System Info, System Security Status, Group Policy, Windows COA, and etc. It will even list Product Keys for most "not all" installed programs. Would be a great add to WRT...

Thanks for all the good work!!!

Thank you for the suggestion! The tool looks great, and i have heard about it and tried it before.

But I'll not be adding more tools to WRT, I´ll just be replacing those that are already there for better ones, in order to have good baseline of programs (able to fit most use cases), and that can be personalized with the tools the user add to the "Custom Tools" tab - that would be those that best fit their daily usage.

If you think that Belarc (or any other tool) is a better replacement for any of the tools in the toolbox please let me know; so I can test it. Anyway you can add this line to your custom.xml file (you can find more about it in the "Custom Tools" tab):

Code:

<LINKS title="Belarc Advisor" link="https://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisorinstaller.exe" exe="advisorinstaller.exe"/>

This way you'll be able to add Belarc to your copy own of WRT!

Understand completely! Alex... Thanks a bunch for the reply and input!!
