I give up on TI 2010 - Explorer restart loop
This morning my win 7 box started an explorer restart loop right after starting it up. Killed the acronis startups and bingo stable machine. I have put up with the hangs, lockups and loooooong image mount times. This product is majorly dorked up.
Uninstalled... back to ghost

Isn't it about time you issue an update to the software? Do you even realize that people are downloading a buggy software for trial? What kind of impression do you think trial users are getting?
Those latest major changes to Windows 7 you're referring to are from last year!!

This looks like the same problem I have, where (since installing True Image Home 2010 two days ago on my Vista 32-bit machine) I can not click on any file in Explorer without Explorer crashing. Thus I can't rename, move or delete files.
Is there a fix for this? I am uncertain about using a Windows 7 fix as above, without checking first.

If you do only manual backups, you can disable the True Image entries in the StartUp and see if that cures the problem.

No, (a) True Image doesn't appear in StartUp, and (b) if I right-click StartUp in Start-Programs the bug hits and Explorer crashes.
The error started at the same moment I installed TIH2010 (looking at the error log).

Further to the above, I have read other threads and so today tried installing SnapAPI.503_s_e with no effect.

Sometimes there are items that start that do not show in Startup. You have to type msconfig in a command prompt. Then click the Startup tab.

Thanks, that is really helpful for a slightly less IT literate person!!
In detail, this is the way to do it (for anyone else who wants to try):
Start button
Run
Type: msconfig [enter]
Wait… for System Configuration menu to appear
Click Startup tab
Untick:
- Acronis TrueImage
- Acronis Scheduler Helper
Click [Apply]
Then restart computer
Sadly, it didn’t work!
Many thanks for the idea. Any more ideas, anyone?

A complete uninstall of ATI2010 with (of course) antivirus turned off, plus reinstall from a fresh download, followed by a second install of SnapAPI503 seems to have sorted my Windows Explorer recycle problem. I also rebooted the PC at each stage.
Perhaps the message is: Don’t give up!

And now the problem has recurred without obvious reason!
