Not Creating Image (TI 7)

Trying to create a full back-up image of my C drive but it doesn't seem to be working today.

I choose "create image" and go thru the steps in the Wizard, clicking "proceed" on the last step. That gets me here:

but no further.

I make a full image once a month and have never had a problem before so I don't know what's going wrong today.

Dell Dimension 8250
Win XP Home, SP2
Acronis True Image 7.0 (build 63

Thanks,

Do you run any software to clean out the Temp, Temporary Internet Files, and Cookies folders? Also do you use anything to clean the Registry?

 

Before making an Image, I always first use XP's Disc Cleanup (under Performance and Maintenance) to delete temp files, etc. I check everything listed except "compress old files" because I don't like the way that turns file names blue. Then I run full scans with AdAware, Windows Defender and sometimes Spybot Search & Destroy. Last, I defrag, although today it said it didn't need defragging.

I never, ever tinker with the registry, so the answer to your second question would be no.

Have you tried with your "rescue disk"?
If not try it and see if it works.

 

Have you run the Error Checking with both boxes checked. Right click on the C drive and pick Properties. Error Checking is on the Tools tab. The check with take quite a while and run the next time you boot the system.

Have you made any changes to the system since the last time you successfully made an image? New software, new hardware?

If Error Checking doesn't find anything and you still can't make images, try uninstalling and reinstalling TrueImage.

 

Hello Ezmerelda,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

Please make sure that the Acronis Scheduler 2 Service is started and both schedhlp.exe and schedul2.exe processes are running (use Windows Task Manager).

Please note that you can run the schedhlp.exe and schedul2.exe (\Program Files\Common Files\Acronis\Schedule2) manually in Windows Task Manager (File->New Task) or do the following:

- Download schedmgr.exe application;

- Start the Command Prompt from Start -> Programs -> Accessories menu;

- Run the following command in the folder you saved the file to: schedmgr.exe service start

Thank you.

Re: Not Creating Image (TI 7) - Fixed

schedhlp.exe was not on my Processes list so I added it manually as a new task per your directions and that did the trick - I can create an Image now.

Thankyou,

Re: Not Creating Image (TI 7) - Hmm

Tried to make a new image today and same problem. I checked, and as before, schedhlp.exe was not in running processes. I added it again as above and made my Image.

Is there any known problem/conflict with a another program that might be turning off that process?

Re: Not Creating Image (TI 7) - Hmm

Go to Msconfig and find the schedhlp.exe listing in the Startup Tab. Put a check mark in the box and click apply and then re-boot. If this doesn't work then do a repair install of TI.

 

Did you try the suggestion in message #4?
