 Roland: This is a very easy-to-use program with a simple user interface. It may not have very high encryption, but I'm sure it will suffice to the casual user. I ended up removing FreeOTFE, which had too many settings.

Here's an easier way to extract it without having to install & uninstall. BTW, Universal Extractor won't work on this.
* Clear out your "C:\Documents & Settings\(user)\Local Settings\temp" folder.
* Begin install of PrvDiskLight.exe.
* When the first screen appears, copy the newly created "tmp" folder inside this temp folder to another location.
* Cancel the setup.
* The 'dkar.dll' file is already in this copied folder, and everything is ready to run.

Good Luck! [2006-11-19 12:18]

 Roland: Me again. I still think this program is great, but when trying to mount and access a 500Mb encrypted drive, it is very slow. [2006-12-21 11:01]

 Ray: When I try to add files to an encrypted drive created with this program, my computer completely freezes up. [2007-01-18 23:19]

 Local: So far this is running nicely for me on a 300MB encrypted drive.

Anyone know how I can use my autorun.inf from within it though.
The encrypted drive is showing up as a removable drive but windows isn't reading the autorun [2007-07-24 04:33]

 Corey: Yeah- completely froze my computer after only ~100MB copied into the image file... 3 times I tried it... now I'm deleting it. [2008-09-02 18:39]

 CD2100: What OS has it been used on successfully?
I know it can be used on Windows 98. Has anyone made it work on a different OS? [2008-11-19 15:01]

 PDL user: It was OK for me with 98, millennium, W2000, XP and Vista (used once). I've been using it every day for last 4-5 years.

I'm afraid that freezing is machine+XP specific problem. On desktop 3GB encrypted file from external HDD works OK, same file on laptop completely freezes up system. [2008-11-24 11:19]

 C: Works fine for me (nearly full 30 gig file) and fast. I, however, only use it to store files and not run programs from it. I have noticed that if the file is hidden it unhides and the file can still be tampered with while it is mounted. [2009-02-11 21:14]

If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
