Stuck with ATI Home 2009 Trye&Decide in Windows 7

Thread needs solution

Hi, I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64b and Acronis True Image Home 2009.

Unfortunatly I wantend to try "Try&Decide".

  1. I Set The Acronis Secure Zone in a different partition from my C:\.
  2. I started Try&Decide for a while then
  3. I decided to discard the changes.

Since then

  • every time I reboot I have the warning that Windows was not closed correctly
  • the system is very slow
  • I have the task bar button from Try&Decide that asks my to make a decision  and whatever decision a make it says that ATI can not apply or discard changes.
  • The current state in T&D is "discard" and every thing is grayed.

What Do I have to do?

Please help me.

Lauro,

Your problem is due tot he fact that TI 2009 is not 100% compatible with W7.

Make sure you have an up to date disk image and that the rescue CD can boot and see all your drives. I would then try the following things.

1. Open up services.msc and stop the T&D service.

2. Reboot.

3. If T&D has still left behind it's booting flag, you should then insert either your W7 installation DVD or if you don't have that, make a W7 repair CD and try and repair your system.

Assuming you haven't stored any images in the SZ, I would also delete that from within True Image. Don't just delete the folder in Windows Explorer.

Dear Colin,

thank you for your answer, but I think I'm not able to follow your advise.

What you mean with "an up to date disk image"?
I have an incremental backup of my C: (windows 7) partition. And since I have a multi-boot system (with win XP) I could try to restore that one.

Or I could boot from my Windows 7 Installation DVD and do ... what exactly?

I'm sorry, I need more help.

Hello Lauro,

I mean have a complete disk image of your system as it is now.

You didn't mention you had a multiboot system in your first post. I'm not sure if this will be a problem or not.

I think you will need to switch Try and Decide off as I mentioned in my first post before you use the Windows 7 installation DVD to repair the boot information.

Hi Colin,

I think I made a mess.
I had a backup of my Windows 7 partition so I restored it.
But now I have only a blu screen and a message saying that my Windows is not genuine!
How is it possible?

Windows 7 allows you to boot and then blue screens?

What is the BSOD error number and message?

The not genuine message can be solved quite easily, but the BSOD needs to be solved first.

Dear Colin,

thanks for the helping you are providing.

I'm afraid that I expressed myself uncorrectly. What appears after I boot Windows 7 is not the infamous BSOD but just a normal , neet, blu screen with nothing in it but a small message in the right corners who says:
" Windows 7 - Build 7600 - This copy of windows is not genuine"

The whole boot sequence is this:
1) Windows 7 starts normally
2) stays a lot of time in a screen sayig "Preparing your desktop..."
3) the plain blu screen with the not genuine message appear
From this point I cannot do nothing. Only CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to Task Manager.

Thanks again
Lauro

OK, I've no experience of that problem.

I'm assuming that your copy of W7 isn't using one of the many cracks available that bypass the activation mechanism. The only thing I can suggest is to try running a Windows boot repair from the installation DVD.

Hi Colin,

Of course I'm not using a cracked version, otherwise I were not bothering so much.

I tried already to repair the the boot sequence.

I think I have to reinstall from scratch.

Thanks, anyway Lauro

Dear Colin,

just to let you know that a miracle happened!

I had another Backup on DVDs that I made after installed Windows 7 and few basic programs. I give it a last try. It restored the windows 7 partition and this time no sign of "Not genuine".

Who knows why?

Lauro

Hi Lauro,

That's good news.
