Tom,
Apologies for taking so long to reply...someone moved your thread and I didn't get notification of your last post...
Try this...although it could be one of a million other things of course I don't think its acronis...unplug your maxtor drive and any other storage devices you have plugged in and try it.
If that doesn't work then more questions:
*Are you using a theme or style for Vista like WindowBlinds or Style XP?
*Was this machine "ever" on a network or a WorkGroup? Added then removed etc?
*Does the OS have the latest service pack installed (I believe SP1 for vista is the latest)? This may not actually fix it but its a good place to start just in case
*and of course the ever lingering Windows PITA; have you restarted the computer <sigh>
Just holler back, I am actually quite interested in understanding why it is acting the way it is.
Regards,
Zjooj
