Try this. Worked for me.

It may not be the problem you're having but worth a try.

Once I uninstalled it and installed a new build of this
software, everything was working fine.

Curious as to where you got a "new" build?

I would assume from Acronis's web site. I am now on my 3rd build of True
Image 2009, all downloaded from they web site.

Camper

Are you downloading trial versions?

The reason I'm so interested is because I bought True Image 2009 via
disc and the gui has no option for updates.
On their website I see no updates for 9.0; plenty for 10.0 & 9.1 but
they are for servers and such.

Have you registered your product and logged on to their site? I just log on
to http://www.acronis.com.au and the site tells me what the latest update
is. Currently it is build 9770 released 29/8/2009 for true Image 2009.
Obviously unless you are in Australia you would not want to register and log
in to the au site.
