Newly installed Acronis 2010 Home crashes computer on startup

Thread needs solution

I've just installed the upgrade version of Acronis 2010 Trueimage Home. When I start the program, I get a scrambled screen and the computer crashes - no video. I need to power the system off and restart to recover.

I'm running a Dell XPS420 with Vista Home Premium SP2, fully patched. My video card - ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT driver is up-to-date.

I've removed Trueimage 2010 and re-installed Trueimage 2009 and it works fine.

Any help appreciated.

Hello Richard,

I will do my best to solve the issue you experience. First of all please make sure that you are using the latest build of the program. Check it in Help -> About. You can always download the latest build of the program from your account under Registered Products.

If the issue persists please send me the following diagnostic information via PM with reference to this thread:

(1)

- Reproduce the problem (application crash);

- Do not close the "Application has stopped working" window;

- Run Task Manager (press Ctrl-Shift-Esc buttons);

- Select "Create Dump File" item from the menu;

- Pick up the .DMP file created and send it to us;

- Open Start->Run (or press Windows-R buttons) type "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive" string without quotes and hit Enter key

- After that you will see a folder (or a few folders), the name of which starts with "Report"
