@ranthor, thanks for the information!
I don't think it is needed to delete the rxfcv.sys file. Just reinstall PrimoCache and it will overwrite the rxfcv.sys file.
Anyway, I'm glad that it works now.

"C:\Windows\System32\drivers\rxfcv.sys"
"C:\Program Files\PrimoCache\drv\rxfcv.sys"

Which one?

Recently rebuilt my system with an SSD as my drive. System went from boot time of about 27 minutes with my spinner to about 37 seconds with the SSD! Then coupled it with PrimoCache for caching my older drives with my SSD and combination of System RAM.


I had 12 days remaining on my Trial.

After a reboot I get the same message dialog box. Tried reinstalling, tried restoring 1 week old backup image, tried removing a ton of other software such as the Samsung Magician and Intel Drivers and still get the same message. NT BootLog shows the rxfcv.sys driver as loaded but still doesn't work. I can't find a service instance for it(not sure if that's normal).

I was very pleased with the performance gains it provided, but now I am also worried that after purchasing otherwise it will not work.

@PangOS, did you change Windows system time before? Could you open Windows Event Viewer and check if there was any error event from the source "FancyCcV"? Thanks.

Current Error in Event Viewer is that the evaluation period has expired.

Maybe re-read my post?

I am aware it will not work if expired. However if you read my post, it displayed this behavior and it stopped working 12 days before the trial was up!

I had gone through the event viewer and there were no errors. The NT Boot Log showed rxfcv.sys as LOADED.


I'm concerned that if I purchase it still will not work.
