Backup my application settings, there is no create button to add applications

Thread needs solution

Acronis 11.0 8101 build
When backing up my application settings, the create back wizard main screen loads and shows no create button, so I have no way to add applications to my backup list. I get some defaults loaded that it finds such as IE6, ms word, excel, powerpoint, access, mozilla firefox, and windows media player 11.
How do I add my own applications to the list to backup?

Thanks

You can't add any application for settings to be saved - it only has the ability to save settings info for 'supported' applications.

From the user guide (p. 66):
My Application Settings - back up custom settings of Windows applications. This is a subset of filelevel backups that backs up predefined folders and requires minimum user selections. The program displays a list of supported applications that have been found on the computer, sorted by categories. You can select a random set of categories and applications.

It is important to note that the program backs up only your settings, and not the application executable files. If an application seems to malfunction or ceases to run, reinstall it using the latest updates and then recover your settings from the backup.

To select all the supported applications found on the computer for backing up, check the Installed Applications box. For instant messenger applications, the program will back up both the settings and history. The list of supported applications will be expanded gradually. Updates will be available with new program builds or via the Internet.
