    I recently was asked to uninstall a copy of True Image 9 from a new HP Vista machine, which after I reviewed the Acronis compatibility page discovered probably should never have been installed in the first place. I attempted to remove True Image 9, but as soon as I restarted the computer to complete the removal, I recieved a BSOD error and had to restore to a system recovery point.

    Mildly frustrated with this since I have tried several different approaches to this. I have purchased 10 and tried to do a repair/remove through it's application and just use 10. Alas, BSOD every time I restart.

    And after running the machine through many different memory checks and stability checks, I'm fairly confident the problem lies in the True Image 9 programing and it taking some vital component from the Vista boot that it placed there.

    Any ideas? Or similar problems? A full system recovery would certainly remove 9, but the labor that went into it's current configuration almost makes it not worth it.

    Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

    It sure sounds like TI 9's unsuccessful uninstall is the source of the problem.

    Email Acronis tech support for instructions on how to manually remove both TI 9 and 10 from Vista using the Registry Editor. After that, a new install of TI 10 should be OK.
