    Hello,

    I used TI over the years and versions without major problems, but since getting TI 10 and installing it on my new Laptop (MSI Mgabook, WinXP Home SP2) I have, well, not a strange Problem but an annoying little thing, which I`m not being able to remove it seems.
    Whenever I start up Trueimage 10 (all versions up to 4940) and doing any task like backup or restore, explore or creating a task, at the moment it comes to bring up the file explorer for selecting a backup place or an image, an error dialog appears "Coinitialize not called", clicking this about three times away all things work as they should.
    Although I have tried several times to de- and reinstall the program, this nasty error won`t go away, anyone any idea?
    Thanks

    Have you tried making the bootable Rescue CD, booting with it and trying the Backup process from its menu?

    With the BootCd the error does not appear, and dont get me wrong, I can do Backups and restores without problems, running ATI under Windows, its just, that I have to click away the error messages each time, after doing so, things work as expected.

    I don't know the answer to your problem, but it's not surprising that the error does not appear when running from the recovery CD. Coinitialize is a Win32 API call to prepare a thread within a COM object, the recovery CD is not Windows.
