A bit disappointed: not multi-users, does not wake ??? - 5.Nov.2009 5:27:19 PM

Good evening.

I did my first setup of GFI Backup 2009 today on XP SP2 Home. Of course I installed it as Administrator (ie: the first profile with full rights, while I usually work only on a limited other one).

First problem: the software does not really install for system-wide use:
- The Run registry key is set for CurrentUser, I had to move it to LocalMachine by hand. After that it actually autoruns for all the users.
- Then of course the intelligent and handy options to save user settings can only apply to the current user, even when setup from the Admin account... I'm wrong ?

Second problem: the option "wake computer before running" does not appear to work (context: signed-in as a simple user, computer in standby mode, option set to require a password on screen saver, task to be run on the Admin account):
- According to the logs and visual look at the LED, the PC did not wake up from simple standby.
- This PC is a EeeBox with no system problem. I was previously using a solution relying on WakeupOnStandBy that *did* wake it up...

Very disappointed because this software has all the clever options I need, and this last one is mandatory. I wish it could really work safely in addition...

Thank you for any solution. Best regards.
