How to Fix Index Count Error when trying to Run Diagnostics

Postby jbullard » Tue Feb 27, 2007 1:20 am

Over the past couple of weeks we have seen numerous instances where individuals are saying that the VistaBootPRO Run Diagnostics generates an Index Count error and they are unable to use this feature.

The number one cause of the Index Count error has to deal with Windows Vista installation errors. You may not receive any errors during installation; however, it did.

So how do you fix this permanently to avoid the Index Count error and have the ability to use Run Diagnostics. It is fairly simple. Just ensure that you follow the steps correctly.

What version of VistaBootPRO are you using forest1976?

See more questions I've asked you HERE and then decide where you want to be replied to. Not a good idea to make multiple help requests...it gets a bit confusing :)
