Kernel requires features not present on the CPU: PAE
When I tried to Clone the hard disk of my 10-years old IBM X40 computer, the acronis programme responded: “Kernel requires features not present on the CPU: PAE
The older version (True Image 2012) Worked fine, but I stupid updated the software waiting for the new features - and get them. What shoudl I do?

Okay, I have this same IBM X40 computer with the Pentium M Centrino processor. I had upgraded to Win7 (difficult but not impossible) and used an earlier version of Acronis True Image to clone my HDD to an SSD. I just purchased a 128 GB SSD and wanted to clone my current drive to my new SSD but when trying to do so, I get the same error message described by OP. I think I still have the original Acronis disk (I like disks since you loose the program and info at some point after a DL). Anyway, should I uninstall the Acronis 2015 program and then install the earlier program? Is that the only way I can make this work? I was hoping I could use the new program to perform this task. if I can't then I think I'd like to apply for a refund since the only reason I got the new program was to perform this task.

Send a private message to the Anna the forum moderator asking for build 6703. I was told it was a build to address the PAE problem with older processors.

I have the PAE problem too, but I can't figure out how to PM Anna. How do I contact her to get the 6703 build? I used Anna as the user name but it was invalid.

I get the PAE error when trying to clone to a larger hard disc in an older Thinkpad t41. I think it is an M processor. I have been using True Image 2016. If you could give the link to the older build that accommodates these older machines, I would appreciate it.
Thanks, Jim
