    I've used the subject version to backup my entire HD for 2 years, without a hiccup. Now, suddenly, TI Home does the brief opening screen analysis, and stalls out at 0% progress. Any thoughts on what might have changed recently to cause TI Home v9.0 to stall out?

    I found that I can delete the tib files, uninstall/reinstall, and the TI Home backup works just once. If I try a second time, it will stall out. Kind of a pain to go through this method to get a backup.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Cheers,
    Jim

    Install any other software or hardware recently?

    Strange a reinstall seems to fix it but:

    I'd run chkdsk X: /r on all the partitions. Replace the X with the drive letter of the partition being checked. Reboot likely required for C. TI is pretty tolerant of file system issues but every now and then it gets thrown for a loop.

    Thanks seekforever;
    My machine is pretty dynamic, so there are always apps being updated, added or deleted. I did the chkdsk, and did not have any effect on TI Home stalling out.

    I saw that there was a fresher update (version 9.0 (build*3,854)), and gave that a try. Same results....stalls out.

    It also is pretty hard to kill TI Home with process explorer. Always requires a reboot to clear the process.

    Any other thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Anything in the Windows Event Viewer?

    Can you make an image using the TI boot CD? That takes Windows and the apps out of the equation.

    What about restoring an earlier image if you have one and see if the situation changes?

    Any hardware changes such as different RAM, disk controller, etc?

    If nothing else to try, I'd check the RAM by running free Memtest86+ available from www.memtest.org . Best to let it run overnight. It is a long-shot but won't hurt.

    Incredible Dmitry...you nailed it with the driver install. I don't know what SnapAPI drivers are, or why the TI Home drivers disappeared after doing one backup, but the fix you offered seems to work.

    I have not tried cycling (doing more than one backup), but if I run into troubles, I'll let you know. For now, it working!

    Thanks much, thanks for being there, and best regards.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Just to close this thread, I've successfully been through several cycles of unattended backups since I installed Dmitry's SnapAPI drivers. It worked!

    Appreciate the continued support for this old version of True Image Home.

    Thanks much again.
    Cheers,
    Jim
