(Resolved) True Image Home 2013 - BSOD with Win7
True Image Home is now generating BSODs regularly on my Win7 box. I don't have to be doing a backup - just doing a "Generate System Report" is enough to set it off.
It looks like the culprit is our old friend snapman.sys. I see from other posts that there may be updated versions of this driver available by PM from Acronis people on this forum.
I can't seem to report this issue via the support section of Acronis's website - it tells me the support period for my product has expired.
I've attached a screenshot of the BSOD, a system report (generated from recovery disk - trying to do it from Win7 causes BSOD) and minidump file.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for replying. To answer your questions:
Running WinDbg on the minidump file pointed to snapman.sys as the likely culprit.
I have run chkdsk /r on my disks. I've noticed the program BSODs without doing a disk read/write op. I think I managed to crash it one time just by selecting "Help/About True Image" from the program menu!
I have de-installed and re-installed the program. I haven't tried running the cleanup utility between de- and re-install. I might give that a go. One other idea I have is to disable ReadyBoost on my system drive.

Just for the record, I can report that a combination of:
1. Complete un-install and re-install (including running cleanup utility and inspecting registry entries)
2. Disabling readyboost
3. Removing the SDHC card which contained the readyboost cache
has made the problem go away.
