Registry Monitor > Compare not working - repeatable

What kind of snapshot do you first create before doing the compare, do you do a full snapshot or only partial? Does this make a difference? Do you use the default options when starting the compare?

And also, do you compare two snapshots against each other, or one snapshot against the current state of the registry? In other words, do you select one snapshot or two snapshots before clicking Compare?

As I reported already: all actions I do are with the "default" settings/options.

So:

1) The snapshots are only partial snapshots (default setting)

2) The Comparing is run against te current registry status.

I ran the test as per how you have and it works okay on my Win 7 x64 Professional system; however, as reported earlier, it fails on Win 7 x86 Professional.

I experienced something rather strange.

The problems I have reported in this thread happen with a PowerTools 2010 build 966 installation on an Intel SSD (system disk).

I removed that disk from my PC, placed my former HD (system disk) in my PC and installed PowerTools 2010 build 966 and I was able to execute the Compare feature of Registry Monitor after I had created a new Snapshot :? :

I removed that HD, placed the SSD again, uninstalled completely PT 2010 build 966, reinstalled it, made a new snapshot wit Registry Monitor, tried to run Compare: nothing to do, it doesn't work.

It’s beyond (my) comprehension...

Notice I have no other problems at all with that SSD.

Using Win7 x86 Professional with jv16PT build 966 and 967:

Registry monitor -> Create Snapshot, both Partial (=default) as Full, compared to current state of Windows 7 Registry without any problems!

I tested again and it's for sure: the Compare function is unable to create a new temporary snapshot of the actual registry status (to compare afterwards with the previous (partial) snapshot created (without any problem) by the user (= me).

Why? I don't know. Is that temporary snapshot created in the default temporary folder of jv16 PowerTools? I guess so, because a new subdirectory is made in my temporary system folder.

So, why is Compare not able to write the new temporary snapshot to that subdirectory?

However, as far as I know, there's nothing wrong with my temporary system folder, unless it's not in the default Windows temporary system folder, like e.g. \Windows\Temp, but on another drive, e.g. D:\XX\TMP. But that shouldn't be a problem, shouldn't it?

I have placed a debug log here in this thread. I wonder what the programmer has seen in it...
