Desktop icons duplicated

Thread needs solution

I recently re-installed 2011 because I was having a problem. After the re-install I find a still have the problem. When I double click on the 2011 icon (on my desktop) to open the program, the "Welcome" window pops up with 3 options: Back up my critical data, Use backup assistant and Go to main screen. If I click on the third option, I get to the main screen, but I also get a bunch of partially-formed icons which are duplicates of the ones on my desktop. I have to click on one of the original icons to open it, and when I close it again, the duplicates disappear. Does anyone have any idea why this occurs and what to do about it?

Try running the installer again and select repair, see if that solves the problem. If not then you might have to run the Acronis 2011 'Cleaner' utility. Be aware though that running the cleaner will also uninstall or disable any other Acronis product you might have installed.
