Cannot open Acronis 2010 in Windows7
After upgrading from Vista sp2 today, it carried over the icon for Acronis 2010, but I could not open the program at all. It get a message that it is incompatible.
Any suggestions?
Do I have to reinstall Acronis?
A program acting up after an OS update? Reinstalling it would be my first try.
It works fine in Win7 for me and a lot of other people. Whatever your issues are, it's not that 2010, in general, won't work in Win7.
Two conflicting opinions. Will have to wait for more responses. I had v.11 working fine with Vista. I just upgraded to 2010 before upgrading to Win7, because I was told v.11 would not work with Win7. Now it seems that neither version will work (for me) unless Acronis puts out a fix. I can't figure out yet how to use Windows Backup and Restore for Win7 premium, but at any rate, it will not do a clone.
Here's one more ... voting for the fact that 2010 works well with Win 7.
To use Windows Backup/Restore, open the Control Panel and select Backup And Restore. Follow the prompts from there.
Some applications not surviving an upgrade from one Windows version to another is not an uncommon problem.
Based on the error you are getting, I wouldn't be surprised if the ATI installer installs specific file versions based on the operating system. So it installed Vista compatible files since you installed it while in Vista. If that's the case, then uninstalling and reinstalling in Win7 would give you a Win7 compatible set of files.
If a program of this type won't run, even after a reboot, reinstalling is usually the first thing one tries. If worried about hitting an even worse bug, you could do a backup using the backup cd first.
When I try to open Windows Backup/Restore from control panel, I get this error message
X "C:\Windows\System32\sdclt.exe
Unspecified Error"
So if I can't open either Acronis 2010 or Windows Backup/Restore, what have I done wrong. Who should I contact??
You have a strange one there Robert. Does anything else not open in the Control Panel? If so, I think you're in for an OS re-do.
Yes, there are several programs that won't open, and I am just ready to go back to Vista if I knew how. I used Windows 7 upgrade disk purchase thru Amazon. I just did my backup with Acronis 2010. The Windows upgrade advisor looked fine, so I just inserted the upgrade disk and everything seemed to proceed well. I was pleased with the final result until I started looking at the programs which did not open, included Windows Backup and Restore itself, Ccleaner, Auslogics, etc. Then I tried to download and install a couple of programs, but was blocked by-no digital signature could be found.
I am 70 y/o and would be satisfied with going back to Vista as I said. I do have Vista saved on another internal hard drive, and wonder if I could use Acronis on that drive to ghost it onto the Windows 7 drive overwriting it?
At any rate, I don't want Windows 7 on my C drive at this point!
Another thing I forgot to mention is that the Windows 7 upgrade was installed over an Acronis Image.
Update: I had several issues with the upgrade Windows 7, that I decided to use my Acronis 2010 Bootable Rescue Media Disk to restore Vista to my C drive. I will keep the Windows 7 upgrade disk aside until a later time. Perhaps even until SP1 arrives. I'm reluctant to try it again at this time until I read more about experience with the upgrade. It seems that most people on the forums are using the upgrade disk for a Clean Install. I do not want to do this at this time.
Thanks for your comments.

Well, here I am in January 2. I have Windows 7 working perfectly. Acronis TI Home 2010 will not work. I have tried all the fixes mentioned in all the support fixes. No luck Now get the 1722 error. I have not had a working program since installing Windows 7. By the way, I did a clean install with the Window 7 disc 64 bit.
.
I have always done a manual backup, not a scheduled backup. It appears v2010 demands a scheduled BU.
Could going from 32 bit Vista to 64 bit Windows 7 be causing problems?
I guess my next attempt to to delete and reinstall Acronis. Too bad, it was a good program for almost 3 years...........
Well, for some strange reason Acronis 2010 began to work for me. I have just done my first real backup in v2010. I am just going to do simple backups for the time being, not sceduled backups...
I hope it was a bug they fixed, because I've gone thru hell for the past 2 weeks since installing win7.
