Well, instead of Acronis, there is also Windows Backup, so that would go on another disk. Backing up bit for bit or with compression or whatever.
 


I can do a disk image with Windows Backup? I am guessing that I already have it. I have a backup drive enclosure. I guess I just need to get a comparable size drive to backup to. Since I have never done this I always wonder... If I have multiple drives, should I get a seperate drive for each drive that I want to backup or would one really big drive be OK to just put each "Drive Image" in a different folder... or does it matter?
I am now updated to Flash Player 11.9 (whatever is newest) and am giving it a little time, all seems well. I have 10 Windows updates waiting. After a few days, to see if I have anymore trouble, I'll try updating again. I will go ahead and get a backup drive just in case these symptoms are HW based.
 
I appreciate all the help!

mmmmm..................I guess not. Windows Backup is different and just windows I guess.
I thought it was more, but all I need is Windows backup because I have anything else on another partition.
 
When you restore your computer from a system image, it's a complete restoration. You can't choose individual items to restore, and all of your programs, system settings, and files are replaced with those on the system image.
 
That is what Help in Windows states about a System Image.
Ah, have to read or look at it better, I guess.

It looked as if only the C:\drive Windows made a backup of. I have another hard disk I have not put in yet. Last time I got Acronis with it, and perhaps used both on my old computer.
I suppose I should install the harddisk and I think reading from one harddisk to another physical harddisk is faster than reading and using only one harddisk.
 
Oh, well, backed up now, with a new one, and before they use to take the same amount of Gb between the Windows backup and the Acronis regular normal compressed backup so that will be that then.

No problems this end.



Maybe you should update your spelling and grammar checker just in case though?

DAMMIT.... Flash Player is still acting up. I was writing a PM on the forum and the page froze, I switched to one other browser I had open on YT and the page was/is completely black and I have been getting white screens there with the little grey circle and slash, however refresh has been fixing it. This is getting OLD. I don't know if I have some malware that Malwarebytes cannot find or what the problem is. It is aggrivating. I don't guess it was the MS updates. I don't think it is from updating drivers because I already had this problem before I did that. I have done a system restore to before it started and the only thing I have done is to update Flash Player. Maybe they have a bad update. Don't know what to do but this worries me a little.
Any ideas?
Thanks
