Invisible scheduled task

[spyqs]

Hi,

I am trying to use TI11 after using TI10 without any problem.

I have created a scheduled task with an incremental backup. The script is stored in "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImageHome\Scripts\43F8FD88-5E64-4232-85CF-156B9D3ABEA2.tib.tis" but is hidden in the task manager screen. The message is "No item to display", even after "refresh", but the startup screen of TI11 says that a backup task is scheduled!

I have scheduled a backup, just some files, to be manually started later. This one is visible in the task manager screen.

If I schedule a new full backup, it is also invisible.

All scripts are stored in the same subdirectory with the same type of file.

By the same, if the tasks are invisible, it is impossible to modify anything or delete a task from the Task Manager.

Any solution?

Thanks.

There is also a registry entry or two involved. Have you tried deleting the task file and creating a new task? If it's jsut this one task file that's a prob, I'd chalk it off to "weird sh-- happens with windows" now and then.

I am also seeing this behavior. If I set up a task and then close the application or get out off the Task Scheduling screen and go back all the tasks are gone. I can right click and choose refresh and 90% of the time they show up again. I have experienced where I will refresh and then click on the task and it disappears again.

It's a very annoying problem.

I have deleted all tasks and recreated them 4 times with no change in behavior.

Deleting the task from its subdirectory and recreate it with the task manager doesn't change anything. Always hidden.

My next operation to do is unistall the software and delete manually all entries from the registry, if somes remain. Then install once more TI11 to see.
