ok guys here is a tough one. my objective is to go back to acronis home 11 (acronis 2009 is newer and is giving me problems like not backing up after i CLICK FINISH. or not backing up at all unless i boot with the boot media. same things with restoring.)

- so i uninstall acronis 2009, then i reboot.

- 1st attempt to install home 11 version i get a message saying there is a newer version still!

- so i use the uninstall tool online (not specific to this program it just searches for left over registry entries and removes them with a FORCE remove option. i then reboot.

- 2nd try to install home 11 i get a message saying there is a newer version still!

- now im pis_ed HEH so i look for the manual STEPS to uninstall it from the registry and i found them ! ok cool.....no not cool they did not work here is the link to the manual steps (about 20 of them that i completely did with no errors)

i have a backup file with 2009 before the original uninstall....i restored my pc to that then tried again and still no go....so i tried to call acronis and i must of got a jerk because he said "well you probably will have no choice to re-install windows"

any tools or help will be awesome.have you tried a system restore to a date BEFORE you installed acronis 2009???

just a thought...

Good LuckYou may need to re-install it and then un-install it again...
