An Apology to Acronis

While experiencing a problem with TrueImage apparently failing to recognize the archives it had recently created, I said some harsh things about Acronis, which I now retract. I finally solved the problem, and it was more the result of stupidity on my part than faulty design.

I had in fact inferred that vestiges of a prior version remained. What I didn't even think to check until yesterday was the TrueImage folder, so focused was I on the registry. (Also I use an uninstaller that claims to remove the left over files [Your Uninstaller].)

Removing the old Acronis application solved the problem. It was Build 2337 (this is from my memory). That version number had never shown up in the About box, only the numbers 2666 and 2667. (I wonder, was the latter an actual version, or was the '7' a partial expression of version 2337. An interesting puzzle, if I could be certain of the accuracy of my recollection.)

 

Glad you found the problem. We've all gone down the wrong road more than once failing to realize why we are on the wrong road.
