True Image Crashes Explorer.exe - Shell Extension Issue

I wanted to testdrive True Image, downloaded and installed it. I was very impressed until something happened.

After installing TI, whenever I opened an image file in My Pictures (with Windows Picture & Fax Viewer) and right-click it, Explorer.exe was crashed.

I found that TI added "backup" as shell extension. When I disabled the "backup" shell extension, I no longer experienced Explorer crash.

Has anyone had this issue? This is the only thing that keeps from buying TI. I hope this is a minor issue. Thanks.

I have the same problem. Whenever I right click on a desktop icon or a file folder my explorer crashes and the system freezes.

I went through a painfull process of uninstalling and reinstalling several programs and finally downloaded ShellExView and turned off the "Acronis True Image Shell Context Menu Extension" (tishell.dll). This resolved the problem.

What is the fix? I would certainly like to have my Acronis running in harmony with my system without having to turn off this extension. Is this extension in any way critical to the program?

Should I post info to support with the extension enabled or disabled?

Thanks

 

Hello ktoliver,

Many thanks for your interest in Acronis Backup software.

As Marat said in order to investigate the issue we need additional information. It'll help us to find the fix or appropriate workaround as soon as possible. So please submit a request for technical support with the attached reports Marat mentioned. You should collect them when the shell extensions are enabled.

Thank you

Hello gsilber,

Thank you for clarification.

As I can see, you have used a different e-mail to send the reply, so it ended up as a separate case. I have merged them, and you should receive an answer as soon as possible.

Thank you.

After installing True Image I had problem after problem with explorer crashing. I uninstalled true image and no more problems. It seems that many other users have had the same problem. What is being done about the fault? I note that "gsilber" asked the same question about 2 months ago and was told that it would be looked at.

Hello, KlausK posted about this problem nearly 12 months ago. Other people who have tried this software have had the same problem. My question again is what has been done about this problem? I just received an email stating my trial version has expired. You say TRY the latest version to see if the problem has been solved. I do not think that I should now have to purchase True image to see if it MIGHT have fixed the problem only to find out that it still exists. I might be hard to please but either the problem has been fixed or it has not.

 

Hello copcar17,

Please accept our apologies for the delay with the response.

We have not experienced any similar common crashes with Acronis True Image Home 2009. But it is not guaranteed that it will not crash in some personal cases, because crash itself means a conflict between some third part applications. Such situation depends on many factors. And any crash must be investigated personally.

If you want to determine exact reason in your case, please collect all information Marat requested in previous post and also provide us with the dump file as described below:

Please do the following in order to enable mini-dumps:

- Right click on "My Computer" and choose "Properties";
- Go to "Advanced" tab;
- Go to "Startup" and "Recover Settings";
- Choose "Small memory dump" in "Write debugging information" box;
- Close all the dialog windows by clicking OK buttons.

Now, please reproduce the system crash and send us the mini-dumps created. This will allow us to investigate the problem thoroughly.

Thank you.
