TI Home 2011 - Windows XP SP3 - Explorer Hangs
I'm a long time True Image user. Though until recently my primary usage has been for migrating systems from one drive to another or doing offline backups. Fairly recently, I decided to actually put it to use on our kids' PC. I figured the live continual backups would be just the thing to help recover the system when something went wrong.
Since installing the system for them I've had periodic reports of the system being unstable. After removing the backup drive (second internal drive) and the system operating fine, I though for sure I'd found the problem. So, I replaced the backup drive with another and the problem returned. After some further digging I found that the problem immediately and reliably surfaced if I kicked off a backup. As long as True Image is not running on the system, it's stable and responsive.
A little digging in the forums here revealed other users reporting the same problems, but with Home 2013:

As I only have Home 2011, is there any hope of resolving this without having to purchase an upgrade that I don't otherwise need?

It's the latest build, just removed and reinstalled it today (allowing it to download the latest build). I'm loathe to remove it only to reinstall it yet again. For now I've disabled the services referenced in the other threads, disabled the context menus, and renamed the proxy DLL. Hopefully this at least mitigates the hangs. I've also started looking for another backup solution, very sad to find that after paying for 3 upgrades I find myself with effectively broken software and little hope of a vendor provided fix without shelling out more money.

I understand your position on this issue completely.
I found that v11 (version previous to 2009) worked better than 2011 on my XP systems.
