I have vice versa Pro (Version 2, build 2015), which I have been using without any problem for some time with Windows 8. I just replaced my old computer with a new computer and moved VV to the new computer which has Windows 8.1.

Although I run the program as an administrator, I keep getting a message that says "Volume Shadow Copy creation failed for F: Incorrect Function....."

I never received this message on my other computer.

Thanks,

Howard

It's a local drive. the rest of the message is

"Volume Shadow Copy creation failed for F: Incorrect Function. Click 'Continue' if you want to proceed without Volume Shadow Copy."

Thanks.

Could not find much on Google, the error is ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION
Do you have any encryption software that is denying access to the F: drive?

Hi,

There is no encryption software, and I have not tried that command and I am hesitant to do so since it does not say that it applies to Windows 8.1. Any other suggestions? I do have Onedrive installed which installs automatically for 8.1.

I think you can try the command, it's just a simple shadow copy creation test. thanks
