Analyzing partitions takes forever using True Image Home 2009

Hello,

I just finished installing True Image Home 2009.

Thanks

Karl

Thanks

 

It sounds good

Note:
I assumed that ONLY the FIRST start after installing had the delay and every following start were normal...
I obviously had been mistaken Sorry.

 

I've seen the Distributed Link Tracking Client service cause that too. Sometimes it only affects TI the first time or at random times. Other times, it affects it every time.
