Cannot Uninstall Program Without Breaking Windows
Last response: in Windows 7
Acronis True Image is giving me a lot of problems and they want money in order to get any support so hopefully the friendly people here at toms hardware can help me out.
I downloaded the trial for Acronis True Image Home 2011 to perform a drive to drive cloning. Turns out that is only in the paid version so the program is completely useless to me. My problem occurs when I uninstall Acronis True Image. After i uninstall the program I can no longer access the Windows built in Backup and Restore program. It is not a mater of waiting for the program to load; no matter how I try to open the program nothing happens.
I created another thread to see if I could get help but I ended up just re-imaging my drive from a disc image that I made earlier in the week.
Today I tried to uninstall it again but the same thing happened. Anyone have any ideas as to how to uninstall this retched program without breaking a key feature of windows?
Thanks.
ps. I have used both windows and CCleaner to remove the program and the problem still occurs.
