rkstiens Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 I loaded 6.5 for windows, and the update and driver. I am using XP. When starting the program, it freezes, after awhile I get system not responding. The system is very slow when this problem happens and there is a lot of hard disk activity.

AmyJ Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Windows XP has a "System Restore" feature turned on by default. This option will attempt to cache large files created by Retrospect, which results in heavy disk activity and what appears like a freeze. Mutli-GB file backup sets are likely to trigger this behavior. If you wait an extended period of time, the disk activity will stop and the computer will once again be usable. To increase backup stability try turn off "System Restore" in the System Properties for "all drives" by going to: Control Panels > System > System Restore. If you backup to a USB or Firewire hard disk, try the following: 1. Power down your machine 2. Disconnect the FireWire or USB hard drive 3. Re-boot 4. When the machine is back up, turn of the System Restore Start> Settings> Control Panel> System> System Restore Tab 5. Put a check in the Turn off System Restore box. Click Apply, then click OK 6. Power the system down and reconnect the external drive. 7. Reboot and it should work correctly.
