Acronis True Image 9.0 will not work on this machine!

Acronis True Image 9.0 2323 will not work on this machine in any form or fashion! Let me explain:

Disabled McAfee to nothing. Have Spysweeper and other malware programs. Totally disabled all of their services. Norton Ghost trial totall disabled. Turned off all services found in Win XP Home that pertained to security, etc. Did not work to do all of this.

A. Acronis True Image Build 3625 and 3633 will not install on this machine. The error message is: "Installation Incomplete. The installation was interrupted before Acronis True Image Home could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again."

B. It all started with the Error #1722 - "The RPC Server is Unavailable." Uninstalled the software, cleaned it entirely out of the system, including the registry. Ran the schedmgr.exe program. At first it would not find the schedul2.exe service by typing in schedmgr.exe service start. So improvised and typed in service install. It found it and installed it in, then I started it. It is now found in the services and supposedly working.

C. 1. The new issue is this when trying to backup anything: "Failed to execute the task script. Error #2 - The system cannot find the file specified."

2. Still can't install the update. Please help!

3. Cannot create Acronis Secure Zone. Error Message: "Acronis True Image was not able to create Acronis secure zone on selected drive." This message pops up on any and all the drives that is shown in the Acronis list.

Any suggestions?

 

Must be something peculiar with your hardware ... what make of computer is it?

Here are some items that sometimes make TI not *run* properly. Maybe it is also affecting the installation of the software in your case:

Multiple usb devices including hubs, keyboard, mouse.
Wireless keyboard, mouse.

 

In Services.msc do you have RPC set to automatic?

Hello Romo,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.
