I just purchased Acronis 11 and after reading the manual- realized that this
is a very powerful program and before I install it on my newest Dell running
Vista which is now my main business computer, I decided to test it on an
older (2004) Dell running XP.

It installed OK but before trying to use the program, I tried to hibernate
the PC. Nothing happened - it sat there for hours. I then did a full
shutdown and that worked OK. I thought I'd sleep on the problem. This
morning I realized after the first required reboot to complete the
installation process- I didn't remove the installation disk - so perhaps
that was causing the system to not hibernate- so I removed the installation
disk- and tried again, no luck. I uninstalled the program, then reinstalled,
then tried again to hibernate, no luck.

The really weird thing is that as the UNinstallation process started- THEN-
the system decided to hibernate, which it did, I turned the system back on-
it was still showing the uninstallation process- I completed the uninstall.
Once Acronis is uninstalled, the hibernate process works just fine.

Comments appreciated.

Hibernate is bad as a general habit. Don't do it... Reboots are always
better.

You may be right- and let's just assume that you are right- nonetheless, the
fact that the program interferes with the OS like this makes it
untrustworthy.

Also, just to be sure that the problem wasn't due to a bug in the boxed
version, I downloaded the latest trial version and see the same problem.

Nobody has seen this problem?

Just some quirk of that particular Dell.

I dont get that effect on the systems I have installed TI 11 on.

Nope, must be some quirk of that particular Dell.

I havent seen that on any system I have installed TI 11 on, and I do normally hibernate.

When you install Acronis, it has a lot of bells and whistles to offer. Many
of these require running services on your system. At least four of them. If
you don't use the bells and whistles, you can block their startup with no
problems. It is likely that one of these is keeping your system from
hibernating. You can disable them one at a time, and test for yourself.

I realize there are differences of opinion on hibernation, but it sure
doesn't belong inside an install or uninstall procedure.

Your assumption that interfering with hibernation makes the program or OS
somehow unreliable is unfounded. Most systems use specific tweaks to
implement hibernation, and it is often tacked onto the OS. In any event,
failing to hibernate does not make a system unstable or unreliable.

Relax a bit and work with it and see if Acronis can't help you out. By the
way they have very active and very helpful forums on their website.

Just a bit further. The various versions of Acronis are good matches to
their contemporary systems, but poor matches to systems outside that range.
Using V11 on an older system practically guarantees some rough edges. It is
set up for the newer hardware. The same with trying to use V8 on a new Vista
system.

Again, good luck!

But its only an older test system, not the one he plans to install it on.

Wrong again. The real problem is that some drivers dont support hibernation.

Wrong, as always.

You dont need luck if you know what you are doing.
