Will have to uninstall ATI 2011, because I cannot shut down computer - Can I get money back
I have posted the above problem, but I have not received a reply. Whenever, I run a backup with ATI2011, I cannot shut down my computer. The notice appears, that ATI is performing Operations and the computer will shut down automatically. It does not shut down at all and keeps going. I will have to uninstall ATI 2011 pluspack and reinstall 2010. I have used ATI for years, but this version seems to have a problem. How do I get my money back for the Upgrade. Helga P.S. When I manually shut down ADM shows it as a critical problem.

Hi Pat, the problem seems to be that I have never validated backups and I have never ticked the box. I just backup "C"-Drive to my second drive, but I am mainly interested in the files, because I also have a portable drive and I have most files on my laptop as well. I also do not schedule backups, but just backup with Acronis once a week or so. So there are no schedules. I have Windows 7 and I just looked at Acronis. I cannot find the Advanced settings either. However, I can find "no validation" under Operations. I will download the above utility. Thanks for your help. Helga

Hi Pat, your suggestions worked. I downloaded the utility and followed the advice and I also delete the Programme Data. Thanks so much. I hope it will work in future. At least I am now able to shut down my computer. Helga

Helga,
The advanced option Pal L was speaking about is listed on the Schedule screen.
You may not have scheduled validations but Acronis knows better(?) so they scheduled it for you as the defaut setting. The default is set to monthly. In order to completely turn off validation, the user must open "Disk backup options", select the validation tab, and click on the "monthly" option and change it to "do not schedule". This edit will be necessary for each task that you create for any type backup.
Before saving the changes, return to the "Backup schemes" tab along the top and do the save with the "Backup schemes" options visible.

Hi Grover, thanks as well. I have copied above suggestion and I will follow it, when I do the next backup. I have nothing against validations, but I do not want to finish up with the "operations" blocking the shut down of my computer. Helga P.S. At the moment there is no problem.
