It DL the new files, but removed the start Icon, I click on the new 4.0 file and asked for a password to unzip, no clue what that would be...and was useless at that point... GRRR client wasn't happy I had to come back to run the scan, whith anothe FD, but didn't click to upgrade. whats going on??? I paid for Pro, does going to 4.0 make your (working) tools not work any more. FYI: I use this on flash drives... and all was working fine up until today...... any help with this?? Thanks all, and love this tool, (besides today) Please help!!

I didn't go that route.
When I came onto the forum yesterday and saw that v4.0 had bee released, I used the direct download button and that went seamlessly on clicking Run on the download from v3.9.36 Pro to v4.0 Pro.
I've never used the portable version, but perhaps you should download it afresh.
If you still get problems after a fresh install, then I'll pass it onto Shane.

@ Still_Game - Thanks.
I have no problem with the registry backing up, although I only do it manually now and again, but it's the restore points that are not being physically created, even though it says it has with a date and time stamp in the program.
I'm going to leave it for a couple of days and without creating a registry back up, I'll try creating a restore point again.

I'll have a play around with the restore points creation process in WR later when I get a chance and see how things work for me. I usually create any restore points from a shortcut direct the Windows process rather than from within the Tweaking.com program.
Boggin:
It's just that it's a further back up option prior to running the repairs, but if it doesn't create one and you aren't aware, then if you use the restore point option in the program to revert, the computer will just hang because there's nothing there for it to restore from.
This has happened twice to me on a Win 7 machine and in frustration I power shut down and end up with nothing with the machine not booting up into any mode.
Fortunately, I have my laptops to check the DVD drive before HDD so can boot up with a repair or install disk to restore with a system image.
Not everyone may have things set up this way or have system images and they are going to end up being screwed if a restore point is not created for them.
I agree it would be better to actually go to System Protection to use the restore points, but because the program also has the restore option, many will probably use that.

Yes, you're right - the Create a Restore Point option in WRAIO doesn't work, certainly in W7. I created a restore point using WRAIO (which was a suspiciously fast operation), installed a program and then attempted to roll back by restoring using Windows' inbuilt System Restore. All proceeded as expected until Windows restarted when I got the message below:-
System Restore
System Restore did not complete successfully. Your computer's system files and
settings were not changed
Details:
System Restore failed to extract the original copy of the directory from the restore
point.
Source
%SystemRoot%registration
Destination: ComPlusStaging
You can try System Restore again and choose a different restore point. If you
continue to see this error, you can try an advanced recovery method. For more
information, see What is Recovery?
Run System Restore
