Vista Restart and Acronis Recovery Manager
Is there a known issue with Vista Restart and the Acronis Recovery Manager? I installed the Recovery Manager (TI Home 2011) a few weeks ago. While I don't use restart on my Dell XPS laptop routinely, I don't recall it working properly since I installed Recovery Manager. I do recall 3 failures - 2 of them were that the boot process/OS load never got to the 'Select User' point. The other failure was that a number of things (Wireless, Task Manager, etc) didn't work on boot.
I would never have suspected Recovery Manager except that, on Restart and NOT otherwise, there is the 30 seconds to 3 minute pause between the 1st line of the Recover Manager boot status line (IIRC "Recover Manaqer loading") and the 2nd line (Press F11 ...).
Is there a known issue here regarding Vista Home Premium, Acronis TI 2011, and Recovery Manager?
Thanks.

Don't bother, it uses the linux drivers and takes ages to backup and restore.
Instead use a CD with Windows drivers as it's heaps faster.
Tony, thanks for the reply.
When you said "it uses linux ..." I assume that you are referring to Acronis Recovery Manager.
When I build a bootable media using TI2011 (either CD or a USB stick), do these have the Windows drivers that you are referring to? If not, where does it come from?
Thanks.

When you build a bootable media, you end up with a Linux version.
If you have Windows XP, you could try to build a Bart-PE based disc, which uses Windows drivers. You could also purchase the Mustang-PE add-on (from a third party), or purchase the Acronis Plus Pack wich allows you to produce a WinPE-based disk.
