Acronis True Image 8.0 question?

Awhile back I download a free copy of True Image 8.0 (older version) from Acronis. I used it a few times and to the best of my recollection, it was full featured, not just a limited function "teaser" copy.

Recently, I tried to use the program to restore a previously created image file. Now, when I boot up with the TI recovery CD and the program is opened, any mouse activity (movement or clicking) will cause the computer to re-boot. I can navigate around and select things with the keyboard but not sufficiently that I’m able to restore the image.

I have tried this on two different computers and both exhibit the same symptom. I’ve spent two days trying restore an image file with no success. At this point I now believe my copy of TI 8.0 is limited function.

Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks

 

Halo - Thanks for your input on this matter.

I'm beginning to think the problem may be a bad hard drive. I had moved the target hard drive between two different computers. Both subsequently exhibited the reboot problem with mouse activity. I will need to a little more testing to confirm my hunch.

I did try my recovery CD in two more computers (without the questionable hard drive involved). One was on a Win 98 machine and the other was Win XP. Acronis TI worked fine in both of those units.

This is a busy week for me so I won't be able to do any follow up for a few days.

Thanks again for taking time to assist me.
