As with CC, I've donated £10 but then unfortunaly on this occasion, was unable to download Recuva or rather could not run it as I was getting an error message stating that the download was not a valid Win32 application. Any ideas or work arounds?

Try downloading the slim version from here.

http://www.recuva.com/download/builds

Download to your desktop and install from there.

Let us know how you go on.

Sorry to have troubled you folks - I've sorted the problem out. For some reason, the security settings had changed and prevented a complete download. Download now done but still confused as to why it was considdered an invalid Win32 application?
