    I've used AyRecovery and Comodo Time Machine for 17 months on both a Vista laptop and XP desktop, mostly without incident. After my monthly un-install, defrag, Paragon image and then re-install of CTM, it will no longer load using the Home key at boot. It still can restore snapshots from the GUI. This feature can be a BSOD life savor. I've re-installed and also tried older versions with no luck. It loads the splash screen but just boots normally even though the Home key has been hit. I don't know how long it has been like this and the only change I've made is from a-squared to Avast 5. Of course I've posted on their forum, however, much more experience with the clones here. Thank You!

    Did you try changing the Home key to something else to see if it would work? Well nevermind,lol. Looks like there's not an option for that.

    This is a long shot but.......

    On my PC the Home key must be hit along with the function key. Took me a while to figure out why I was not able to get RollBack Rx to activate during boot even though I was hitting the Home key.

    Like I said, a long shot.

    This is a desktop. Not like most laptops that have the Fn.

    So a poster on the CTM forum cracked the case, suggesting it might be a USB keyboard. Indeed, I installed this one about six weeks ago. Now I need to borrow a PS/2 so I can get into the BIOS to enable USB support.
