TI2009 terminates with runtime error under Thinkpad/Vista

This seems to be a problem experienced by others as well. Apologies for posting if this has been resolved (did not see it).

All Acronis products I have installed (TI 11, now TI 2009, and DD10) terminate operations with MS runtime errors. Example: Attempt to clone disk. I get to sizing partitions (either auto or manual) and the runtime error kicks in every time.

I run a Lenovo T61 with Vista Business SP1. The T61 has a locked 6.5 Gig partition (recovery) which may be the culprit. There is no way to touch this partition without breaking something.

What to do (I submitted tickets to Acronis a while ago but have not heard back).

Thanks.

 

This won't be of much help to you, but I can state that I have TI 2009 running on a Lenovo X61 with Vista Business SP1, so the question is what indeed is causing your problem.

I have deleted the Recovery partition (had already imaged the drive with another product) so can't say if this is the problem. What might be the problem is the Recovery Software and the ThinkVantage utility. I still ahve ThinkVantage, but the Recovery Software is intelligent enough to know the recovery partition is no longer on the machine as it won't even run or update anymore.

Could you post the exact runtime error messages, and what does the Vista Event Log have to say for itself?

Thanks.

There's only a generic runtime error message.

Here's the error log:

scrchpg.dll is the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Script Checker. I disabled Kaspersky during the cloning attempts but that apparently did not help.

 

Hello Homeoffice ,
