Gimp 2.8.2 Conflict Issue with True Image 2013 NonStop Backup

Thread needs solution

Hi,

This is just an observation. I notice that there are some complaints on the internet about Gimp hanging up in Windows 8 . I had the same issue. I was using Gimp for over two weeks on my Win 8 computer without any issue. However after I started Acronis NonStop Backup on my computer and ran Gimp 2.8.2 at the same time my computer would completely lock up. Windows Task manager was a useless remedy. I was force to forcefully shut down my computer and then restart it. However I do not seem to have any issue with the True Image back up which I automatically run once a day. Gimp and win 8 seems to be running smooth now that I have deleted my nonstop backup.

Greetings,
I have the following suggestion. Try running Gimp in compatibility mode and see if you experience the same problem. If so, attempt to capture an acronis system report and/or windows event logs and submit to customer support for further assistance. The issue might be related to something specific in your environment which makes solving it over a forum difficult.
