Thanks, babbu. No mention of Beta, no screenshot, no forum topic (in entry header) -- this entry urgently needs some love... ;)

I've just tried this on a Dell PC running Windows 7 32-bit. It hung. I had to reboot.

That's too bad... Worked fine on my win7x64sp1.
Maybe you can find out what module is at fault here by disabling them one by one (in a VM or a Sandbox, so you don't have to reboot every time). Or try contacting the developers.

Works ok on my win 7 32bit, huge report with some pretty useless info when using default settings. Suggest be selective with checkboxes?

@Revelation777: Until it is fixed - the link to Mr.Tamaru's translated page works via www.archive.org

Discovered this following __philippe's recommendation; the download link from webpage seems to be working now. This tiny app absolutely rocks -- I just wish that background color was user customizable...

Just as information:
When I run this program, it wanted to create a executable file in windows\system32 folder which I blocked.
