Latest Update Seems to Torch Many Installs. Is there a Fix coming?
I recently got the popup that there was a new version available. I installed the update and after rebooting I can no longer load the program or any of the utilities. The first attempt to load ATIH 2012 after a reboot gives an error message. On all subsequent attempts nothing happens (no error message). When I look at Task Manager, TrueImage.exe shows up for a second then goes away. When I try to uninstall, it fails with "installation has failed, fatal error during installation). In my start menu, it is no longer shown and it is not listed as a program to uninstall in Windows. I ran the install program I have (ATIH2012_6131_en-US.exe) and selecting repair, it doesn't work. Using the latest trial version on the website (ATIH2012_trial_en-US.exe) and selecting repair does seem to progress (it gives me program is successfully installed message) but it still doesn't run. When I try to roll back to a previous point in Windows, that fails as well.
Reading the forums, there are a number of people having similar problems but nothing has been posted as a resolution. Is there a fix on the way? Can someone please let me know a way to fully remove Acronis manually so I can revert to the previous version?
I am on Win7 x64 ultimate if that helps.

As I mentioned in my first post, I tried restoring to an earlier point (using a restore point) and each time Windows reports that the restore has failed. I've tried several points and none of them work. I have not tried restoring from safe mode as I can't seem to get to safe mode during boot. I have not tried restoring an AITH backup from boot media. I guess that should be my next try.
At this point, if the restore from boot media doesn't work, I may be forced to wipe my hard drive, reinstall windows, install the old version of ATIH 2012 then restore the disk to the last good backup I had.

That is what you want to do first as any re- install of winidows before will be undone by any later restore.
Use your TrueImage backup and restore it--not the Windows restore point.
Yes, restoring from the bootable media is your best option for restoring.

Uninstall the Plus Pack
Uninstall ATI
Run the True Image 2012 Clean Up Utility found here. http://kb.acronis.com/content/24545
Follow ALL the instructions, until the very last!
Create a clean boot environment with msconfig (disable all non-Microsoft services, all startup items)
Reboot
Reinstall ATI and the Plus Pack
Verify your problem is solved
Put msconfig back to where it was.

I had to use the Clean Up Utility. There is a hole in my backup system as there was the start of a new chain and the only backup I had was that already contained the update. I used the utility then reinstalled.
Thanks!
