Issues with Acronis TIH 2012 on Windows XP (SP3)
Hi All. I manage a small (7 workstations) training room on which I have TIH installed onto both partitions on dual boot PC's (Windows 7 and XP)
All's well on the Windows 7 side but I have intermittant problems with the front end GUI loading up on the XP side. When it fails to load I can sometimes work around the problem by going into Task Manager, stopping the process and re-execting. This does not always work so the only option I have is to boot into Windows 7 and do it from there.
I am still evaluating TIH on the 30 day license but I assume this problem has nothing to do with licensing.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Colin. Firstly I will try the XP repair install as this is an intermittent thing which makes it more annoying. Regarding Licensing, I have checked with Acronis (twice) and they confirm that I do not need to purchase a separate license for each partition as apparently the license is set for the NIC.
I looked at ABR11 but it seemed a bit "overkill" for my rather simplistic requirements, plus - I am expecting delivery of the full product licenses for TIH in a few days so I'm kinda stuck with it now anyway. Its Win 7 Pro (x64) but I take your point on the XP VHD option.
The XP partition will not get used so much as Win 7 so worst case scenario is that I boot into Win 7 and rebuild the XP partition from there.
