Bootvis won't work

I'm using the latest version of Bootvis, and for some reason it will not
record boot
activity. When it launches after bootup, two graphs remain empty: Disk
Utiliization,
and Boot Activity. The Boot Activity graph is completely empty, which is
unusual and
annoying since I like to use this graph to visualise what is being loaded
and the
length of time it takes. Even if I check all graphs and save before and
after I launch
it, those two graphs remain empty and unrecorded. Would this have anything
to do with
S.M.A.R.T being active on both my hard drives? Just a shot in the dark. I've
used
Bootvis before without this issue, which is why it's so odd.

Works for me.
Downloaded from:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/BTV/1.0/WXP/EN-US/bootVis-tool.exe
Running XP Pro SP2.
Worked before SP1 after SP1 and now after SP2.
Newly downloaded file is same as copyI have had saved for years.

Which version of Bootvis are you using? Try copying the Bootvis folder to
another directory, then uninstall Bootvis from the "add - remove programs"
group in control panel. Reboot PC then run bootvis.exe from the directory
where you copied it to. If this doesn't help try turning S.M.A.R.T.
technology off, although this shouldn't matter. SMART tech. slows down your
HDD anyway which might cause an issue when Bootvis is testing your drives.

-Hope this helps:)
