"Try&Decide" turned out to be a very bad thing to run

Thread needs solution

I'm using True Image 2010, on Windows 7 x64.
I fired up "Try&Decide", in exactly the kind of case it uses as an example. I installed a driver and utility for a supplementary keypad, that I've disliked in earlier versions. I had to reboot after running that installer. I did not do anything that your instructions admonished against, and only ran the installed utility and a text editor and word processor to try it out with. It is a SSD, so I know Windows doesn't have any kind of background defragmenting going on.

After dismissing the changes, and rebooting, the drive was messed up! Startup tasks reported errors or did not work, and advised me to checkdisk. I rebooted again and the C drive automatically checked at boot, and after pages of errors scrolled by concerning bad indexes, orphaned files, and whatnot, I just restarted and restored from a real backup.

I think the funky utility software would have done less damage!

hi john,
same or similar problem with my xp-machine.

t&d hang up and i could not stop it to work, even though it was turned off (button was grayed). i was offered to choose what to do, but every possibility ends with "not possible" warning, or so.

a endless loop.

i had to use my image to restore, after using the installer cd of xp. after reinstall and uninstall the programm, after loosing the work of a whole day.... i think t&d is not finished in development for using in a secure way. maybe in ATI2015Home?

i was sitting and trying to come back to a working machine for half a day.

how did it ends with your problem?
