TI 2010: problems, problems on WIN XP

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I have updated from TI 11 to TI 2010 (build 5055) today.
I now have several problems:

1. Majo and urgent
I cannot edit the tasks I have defined with TI 11
When I click in the context menu at edit nothing happens.
PLEASE HELP. I need to edit the tasks!
(modifying the schedule works)

2. Minor:
The TI interface is now much much slower and the border and title is flickering and changing its design while flickering and the complete TI user interface is just white for 1-2 seconds (see attached screenshots)
I have a quadcore 2.8GHz CPU with 4 GB RAM, on Win XP SP3 all updated, zune themes from Microsoft.
How can I turn off the flickering, turn off the transparent border (this is a nice gimmick but irritating and not useful.) Best would be to have the standard border design the user has chosen.

And e.g. the context menu takes 1 second to appear or changing from 'Recovery' to 'Tasks and Logs' 1-4 seconds. Sometimes clicks are not rekognized at all (e.g. at 'Recovery').
Selecting a task in the task list is low too, I have always to wait with the next click, otherwise the 2nd click is ignored.
Why is this so slow??????
(I have no problem with other software on my computer like that.)

And moving the window is not very smooth and sometimes not working correctly and consuming much CPU. (with ATI Radeon 3780).
How can I turn off the Area design of TI. It would be nice to have it, but not that slow. I have Win Vista and 7 as well, and there is no speed problem with that.

And again very slow: I opened the dialog to backp a drive. The diolog appeared, but then it was frozen for ~10 seconds!!!!

3. Help does not work!
Pressing F1 displays an error box with: "The windows name "mainwin" passed to HH_GET_WIN_TYPE has not been specified" and TI freezes! (see attached sceenshots)

4. Usability
I am missing shortcuts in some dialogs and menus, e.g. Alt + F to open the file menu, the dialog to reschedule a task has no keyboard short at all.
Why is the menu bar hidden in Win XP? this a feature of Vista and Win 7. the default of the OS should be used here! How can I disable that? I always want to have the menu?

Well the new button bar, which replaces the menu looks fine, but how to use this with the keyboard, e.g how to open 'tools'? or 'Help' with the keyboard.
Why are all just copying the new microsoft style, and thinking all users uses only the mouse. Why does nobody remember "oh there is a keyboard as well". there are some users who prefer to use it instead of the mouse (e.g. to open the menu, because this is faster!)

I have been using TI since version 7, but TI 2010 seems to have beta stadium.
Please fix these issues ASAP.

1. I don't think you will be able to edit a T11 schedule - especially if it appears in the Unscheduled Tasks tab.

Is this a German version of 2010 on a German version of XP or an English version of TI?

Did you uninstall TI 11 before installing 2010?

The TI database is (I think) one of the causes of slow response between selections, I have this on a W7 system.

I think your only option is to uninstall 2010, download the v11 clean up utility, run that and re-install.

All my tasks are listed in the planned tasks list.
Yes, all is in German, Windows and TI
Yes, TI11 was installed before.

I need to edit my tasks, I have 20 tasks I I do not want to create them again. And they seems to work and I can reschedule them, only editing does not work.

What exactly do you need to alter in your tasks?

It might be possible to manually change your task scripts. You will find them in XP lurking at;

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts

Change the ALL USERS to your logon if you installed TI for single user only.

They are plain XML files but with a tib.tis suffix.

I suggest making a copy of your scripts if you do decide to 'play' with them, as one false move and your scripts won't be recognised.

Well, I can try to edit the xml files.
But I would prefer a dialog to edit it, because editing the xml file directly may cause many problems, e.g. tasks no longer working.
Editing the tasts should work.

However, I have switched back to TI 9, because TI 2010 does not work properly, has several problems and the user interface is unacceptable slow (it seems a ~20GHz CPU is required for it). TI 9 makes fun to use, but 2010 is nothing but trouble!

Anyway, thanks for your answers.
