    If the crash happens when TI is attempting to make an image or whatever, I would run chkdsk X: /r on all the partitions. Substitute the drive letter of the partition being tested for X; reboot likely required for C.

    Have you tried a reinstall of TI?

    Will the TI rescue CD boot up and work properly? If so, you may have a problem with the Snapapi module which looks after live-imaging in Windows.

    Any other strange behaviour by the PC? Run a RAM diagnostic such as Memtest86+, free from www. memtest.org .

    No, I can create images successfuly, but if I want to use the app (for example to create a task and so on...) sometimes it will crash.

    I've already done a chkdsk, and made a ram check.

    How long did the check work? One hour?

    I've tested it with the Windows Memorychecktool ("Speicherdiagnosetool").

    Well, after 30 mins I've cancelled this test, because there aren't any mistakes

    30 minutes is not adequate given the amount of memory in modern PCs especially if the problem is not a "hard" fault but is marginal.

    RAM tests should be run for about 12hrs for more confidence.

    Note that a RAM test is not foolproof. Substitution with known good RAM is sometimes beneficial or if you have multiple sticks of memory and the PC will run with at least one removed, you can try removing them in turn and see if the problem goes away.

    You said you can create images successfully. Can you Validate the images successfully? The TI Validation process is known to uncover RAM issues.

    The RAM issue may or may not be the cause of your problem (and I wouldn't bet money that it is) but it needs to be eliminated as a possible cause.

    TrueImageMonitor.exe, which made the Image don't crashed. Only the "gui" "Trueimage.exe".

    I've started a validation of my Backup.

    EDIT:

    The GUI crashed again, but the Monitor, the Validation is running, we will see....

    Ok, the validation has finished succesfully, but the GUI crashed again.

    What should I do now?

    Yours is not a typical problem and since the obvious has been attempted other than trying an updated version of Snapapi which is on their website (somewhere), I suggest you contact Acronis about the problem. Their Live Chat method of requesting support seems to be the one that gets the best reviews.

    Hello blupp1,

    Thank you for using Acronis True Image Home 2009

    First of all please make sure that you are using the latest build (9709) of the program. Check it in Help -> About. You can always download the latest build of the program from your account under Registered Products.

    If the issue persists we need some diagnostic information from your computer to investigate it. Could you please do the following?

    (1)
    - Reproduce the problem (application crash);
    - Do not close the "Application has stopped working" window;
    - Run Task Manager (press Ctrl-Shift-Esc buttons);
    - Go to "Processes" tab and right-click on the crashed process;
    - Select "Create Dump File" item from the menu;
    - Pick up the .DMP file created and send it to us;
    - Open Start->Run (or press Windows-R buttons) type "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive" string without quotes and hit Enter key
    - After that you will see a folder (or a few folders), the name of which starts with "Report"
    - Please send us Report.wer file from the last created folder

    (2)
    Could you please also do the following?
    - Download and unpack the Device Tree application:
    http://download.acronis.com/support/devicetree_Vista.zip
    - Run the application from "i386" folder (run the 64-bit version of Device tree from "x64" folder if you have Windows Vista 64-bit);
    - Completely unfold (click on all plus signs) the \Driver\partmgr and \Driver\volmgr branches;
    - Move the margin to the right in order to see all the items;
    - Make a screen shot and send it to us.

    Attach the collected info to your next reply.

    As workaround try to disable any antivirus software temporarily and see if the issue persists. Let us know the results.

    Best regards,
    --
