![]() And I'm sure that you know that yourself! Acronis is caught in a long-term historical trap of its own making. It's all an attempt to obfuscate and paper over a very significant problem, Dmitry. In fact, once their trial period has expired as one post here demonstrates very clearly, taking all of the remedial steps recommended by Acronis is practically impossible in any case. It's all very well for you to point out here the availability of supplementary "clean up" tools (which don't always work without disastrous results either, BTW) but how many innocent trial users have been similarly made aware by Acronis IN ADVANCE about that need and its potential consequences? In my own case, your company's "forum cops" actually banned me from warning and trying to help them after the fact. The main problems discussed here reflect ATIH failures to uninstall itself cleanly and, in particular, the BSOD traps that are encountered all too often as a result of "leftovers" in the system registry. As I said in post #106 above: "The 'badness' is not inherent in simply making some device class filter additions or other changes to the system registry, except insofar as those additions and changes may sometimes alter your OS HAL's device handling capabilities." And I've ignored completely some of the other ATIH 2012 "fluff" and its questionable insertions and intercepts. Hell man, ATIH 2012 even disables and takes over Windows native backup capabilities completely in some cases.īut that is NOT really the primary issue here. The end result is that we end up "protecting" a modified system (quite significantly modified in some cases) rather than one with the original OS HAL capabilities we actually wanted to protect in the first place. In fact, some of us understand all too well their impacts on the operating system's normal (hardware abstraction layer) handling of certain devices - such as the original ATIH 2012 release's problems with some external (USB) devices for example. ![]() The problem, Dmitry, is not that we don't understand device class filters and what they do. Long time no see, for reasons of which I'm sure you're well aware. In this Acronis Knowledge Base article you can find the information on use of the Acronis True Image Home 2012 Cleanup Utility.Ĭlick to expand.Hello Dmitry.
