(Resolved) True Image Home 2013 - BSOD with Win7

Thread needs solution

True Image Home is now generating BSODs regularly on my Win7 box. I don't have to be doing a backup - just doing a "Generate System Report" is enough to set it off.

It looks like the culprit is our old friend snapman.sys. I see from other posts that there may be updated versions of this driver available by PM from Acronis people on this forum.

I can't seem to report this issue via the support section of Acronis's website - it tells me the support period for my product has expired.

I've attached a screenshot of the BSOD, a system report (generated from recovery disk - trying to do it from Win7 causes BSOD) and minidump file.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Greetings,
Why do you think the problem is caused by snapman.sys?

By chance, have you performed a chkdsk /r on all disks / partitions?

Have you tried to perform a repair install of the program?

Thanks for replying. To answer your questions:

Running WinDbg on the minidump file pointed to snapman.sys as the likely culprit.

I have run chkdsk /r on my disks. I've noticed the program BSODs without doing a disk read/write op. I think I managed to crash it one time just by selecting "Help/About True Image" from the program menu!

I have de-installed and re-installed the program. I haven't tried running the cleanup utility between de- and re-install. I might give that a go. One other idea I have is to disable ReadyBoost on my system drive.

Just for the record, I can report that a combination of:
1. Complete un-install and re-install (including running cleanup utility and inspecting registry entries)
2. Disabling readyboost
3. Removing the SDHC card which contained the readyboost cache
has made the problem go away.
