Failed to start Try&Decide

Thread needs solution

I tried to post this yesterday, but it does not seem to have worked.

I am using True Image Home 2009, build 9796, using XP sp3.  I did not try Try&Decide till after the 30 days support was over.  It did not work.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times.  On one occasion, it did work, but then the software would not verify any backups.  After subsequnt installations, I got the verifications, but no Try&Decide.  It just says "Failed to start Try&Decide".  Can anybody help?

Hello Alexander,

Thank you for using [[http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/trueimage/ | Acronis True Image]]

Actually, the exact reason of the issue can't be found without several diagnostic files, and the e-mail communication is preferable.

You can try to disable temporally your Antivirus and other protection software, try to recreate Acronis Secure Zone and to increase the size of this partition.

Thank you.

I have already tried all of what you suggested several times, having downloaded the latest build (9796).  On one reinstall the t&d did work, but at the same time the software would no longer verify backups.  I reinstalled once more and the backups could be verified, but the t&d had stopped working again.

How do I contact you by email?

Hello Alexander,

Could you please let us investigate this issue?

Please do the following in order to collect the information:

- Download the file from here;
- Run the downloaded file
- Send us the files created.
The gathered information will be put in adv_report.zip in the same folder, where the AcronisInfo was saved.
Running AcronisInfo may take up to 5 minutes.

Then submit a request for technical support. Attach all the collected files and information to your request along with the step-by-step description of the actions taken before the issue appears and the link to this thread. We will do our best to investigate the problem and provide you with a solution.

Thank you.

I have tried to submit the request for technical support, but the web site does not respond when I press "Submit"

Hello Alexander,

I have tested this situation by myself and website does respond. Which browser do you use? 

Could you please try another one? 

Thank you.

I am having the same problem the other user is having. I am using Acronis True Image Home 2011, Update 2 (build 6857). When I click your link (http://www.acronis.com/support/index.html), I think its location has changed since you first posted it. Could you post a new link to follow and submit my files?

I have attached to this message everything I could think of to send. In addition, I ran the "AcronisInfo.exe" file (with errors) several times and it produced different sizes every time I ran it. So, I attached the two with the smallest and largest file sizes. I also attached screen captures of the notifications I would receive throughout the process.

FYI, I have disabled the "nonstop back" file in Windows Services.

Thank you.

You should try to reactive that service you disabled.

That notice is a bit confusing and shows up regardless of whether your are using non-stop backup or not. The point is that both features use the same service.
