Problem with Norton Ghost v9.0

Using PG v3.150
Issue: Get this error when I try to run Norton Ghost v9.0:

"Norton Ghost Management Console has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Problem goes away when I remove check mark from "Execution Protection" in "Main" tab. Seems like two files get added to the "Security" tab when I execute the program: "v2iconsole.exe" and "v2iconsole_.exe". I then added both files to the "Protection tab" using the right-click option from the "Security" tab. Finally, I used the right-click option from the "Security" tab to "Change last action" to "Set to Permit Always". ---- Still no help. Finally, I tried changing the multiple check boxes in the bottom half of the "Protection tab" to all the various options. ---- Still no help. The only way to execute the program properly is to remove check mark from "Execution Protection".

Can anyone recommend a course of action?

Ghost 9 has to have execution access to work. I would set it to allow execution for G9 I have it that way and it works just fine.

 

Sorry, I'm a bit new to PG. How do I set it to allow execution for G9? ~JohnSk

 

When you highlite ghost in PG under the protection tab, the box on the bottom has the settings for that app just allow it to have execution rights. check the boxes in the screen shot. try that and see if it doesn't work then.

 

Worked!! Thanks. ~JohnSk

 

Well, it didn't work. I had the Execution Protection box unchecked in Main tab. When I unchecked it, to failed... Thanks anyway....

 

Correction:

Well, it didn't work. I had the Execution Protection box unchecked in Main tab. When I "checked" it, it failed... Thanks anyway....

 

sorry about that. My Ghost 9 works just fine with PG. Don't know what to tell you. I have mine set as the screen shot shows and I have created several ghost images and restored the system from them.

 

I have installed and uninstalled Ghost 9 several times, and never had any issues with PG.
Have you tried to run PG in learning mode for a while having 'execution protection checked?

 

Yes, ran PG with various options set - including learning mode... Did not work. Thanks for the suggestion. When I find the solution it will likely be obvious - at least after the fact. ~JohnSk

 

Untick "block new & changed programs" ?

 

Gavin, tried just about every option... Only way I can get Ghost to start properly is by removing tick from "Protection Enabled" from the taskbar icon. Once PG is disabled I can execute Ghost! Thanks anyway, ~JohnSk
