Bad Install
I downloaded and installed Acronis True Image Home 2012 to update version 2011. Of course, the download is the complete program, but probably because I was updating I installed over version 2011 - bad mistake! My computer kept locking up and when I activated the Acronis Startup Recovery Manager it somehow damaged my Master Boot Record and I could not reboot. It took me one whole afternoon and evening to sort out the mess.
I did try uninstalling version 2011 but I think the damage had already been done, In the end I had to restore an earlier backup using my Acronis
Recovery Boot Disk. This restored version 2011 and now my computer is
working properly again. I should probably try re-installing version 2012
again but I will wait and see if anyone else has any problems with it.
It has cost me too much time this weekend!

Thanks Colin,
I did try the "restore last known good configuration" with no success.
I will try your suggestions after a break to recover my composure!

Hi Colin - your advice was spot on! I followed your instructions and the install went smoothly with no problems.
Thanks again.
