Computer Locks-Up During Acronis Install

When I try to install Acronis True Image 8.0 on a Windows NT4 SP6a system, the computer locks-up (Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't work) when you get to the point when it should start creating the recovery disks. If you by-pass this step (by unchecking disk creation box), installation completes, but the system then locks-up as soon as you try to start any action (such as creating a back-up). I tried installation on another, very similar machine and it worked fine, so there must be something incompatible installed on mine (either hardware or software).
Has anyone else experienced this and/or any suggestions re. how to remedy?
