    OK then I will change the question

    Why is trueimage trying to connect to the internet anyway?

    Any Acronis people reading?

    Hi,
    I have two questions.

    1. What Ti-build do you use?
    (press ALT-key and the menu appears where you can look for the build number).

    2. Is it a task which was created by Ti2009? Or did you create it under another Ti version (e.g. Ti11)?

    Thank you for the response

    The build is (9,709)

    I have two scheduled tasks, both created with Ti2009

    I have noticed that if I keep clicking on the cancel button when the message shown in my first posting appears (need to click about 3 times as the message keeps coming back) then I can get to edit the schedule.

    Thank you for answering my questions.
    Regarding the answeres it seems all ok.

    Can you look into the windows eventlog whether there are some more error messages in the same time when your error message box appears??

    Thanks for the reply.

    I know how to start the Event Viewer.

    But in which part should I be looking for the error messages?

    I use a German Windows and the names in the list are different to English version.

    In English version you have to look under "Application" and under "System".

    And nothing new appears when the message box appears on screen

    I see: It's a hard nutshell :)

    I think you have to wait for other members here. I hope Acronis_Support notice this thread in the next days.

    Thanks for your help anyway.

    I have been hoping Acronis Support would help, but nothing as yet.

    Hello mcderd,

    Thank you for using Acronis True Image

    Please go to the appropriate article and download Acronis Scheduler, which is a special utility to update the scheduler service. Extract the downloaded file and run install.bat. Wait for the process to be completed, reboot your machine and see if the issue persists.

    Thank you.

    Hello, I downloaded and installed the Acronis Scheduler as suggested.

    Installed, restarted the PC

    The issue persists, the message shown in my first post still appears.

    Do you have any other ideas?

    And what do you choose? Run or Cancel?

    I see that you can uncheck "Always ask before opening this file".
    Do this and the scheduler never ask (I hope...).

    ok, that's weird...

    Can you look at your Windows firewall?
    Is there an entry of the scheduler?
    If not, create one and give it the correct rights and try again...

    Hello mcderd,

    Thank you for using Acronis True Image

    Please check that Backup Operator and Administrator rights are assigned to your account. Could you please do the following:

    - Go to Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Users and Groups->Users;
    - Right click on the user you logged-in and choose "Properties" option;
    - Go to Member Of -> Add;
    - Issue "Administrators" (without quotes) -> click OK, Add -> "Backup operators"(without quotes) and click OK.

    If this doesn't help, please try to disable UAC:

    Disable Windows User Account Control (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Turn User Account On or Off -> Uncheck “Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer".

    Thank you.
