Scheduled Backup Task will not complete

I have a daily backup task of a particular folder, that will not complete, or at least it appears that way. I get home around 8pm and notice the trueimage icon in the taskbar (with a moving red arrow) and a popup informing me "Acronis True Image: 0%" as I place the mouse arrow over it. When I click on it, the task appears in the active task list, but with no information in the "last result" column. The task is scheduled for 4pm. If I try to cancel it, nothing happens. If I restart the computer and come back to the active list, it will then show the "last result" as "succesful".
When I leave the computer on during the day, it does not go into hibernation, but does use a screensaver and resumes with the welcome screen, where I then log back in. I am using Acronis True Image 9.0 with Windows XP Pro sp2, amdfx processor with 2gb ram. If I do this task manually, everything goes fine.

After I restarted the computer, the entire disk was erased, showing as unallocated and uninitialized in the disk manager. I could not get my information back, and had to entirely reformat it. Luckily, this disk was a recent addition solely for backup and didnt contain much on it.

Please uninstall any previously installed build by following Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Acronis True Image, prior to installing build 2337.

Note that you should create new Bootable Rescue CD after installing the update.

Please also check each partition of all your hard drives by Windows utility: use Windows menu Start\Run, then enter the command "chkdsk c: /r" "chkdsk d: /r" for every partition of your hard drive. Note that you will need to reboot your computer in order to scan the system partition.

If the problem still persist after installing the update and checking the hard drive then please download the latest version of Acronis drivers, install it with disabled logging and see if the problem still persists.

If the problem still persists then please do the following:

service stop
service uninstall

service install
service start

- Close schedmgr;

If that does not help then please do the following:

- Open the command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd);

- Run the following command in the folder the schedmgr.exe file was saved to:

schedmgr get report > schedreport.txt

- Collect schedreport.txt;
