establish Internet connection or if you can use another computer where Internet connection is
available, use the following URL to go to the Acronis Web site error reporting form:
http://kb.acronis.com/errorcode/.
Select the Acronis product version you use and manually enter the event code into the appropriate
field. Then, click the Search button to search for an article that may contain the solution to your
issue.
Sometimes, an error may occur in a low-level program module and then propagate to higher-level
modules resulting in errors in those modules as well. This is a so called composite error, where every
higher level module generates its own error (event) code. The following error message is an example:
"Failed to start Try & Decide
More information about this error and an applicable solution may be available online in the Acronis
Knowledge base.
To access the online resource manually, enter the event code at: http://kb.acronis.com/errorcode/
Event code: 0x00970007+0x00970016+0x00970002"
The event codes from different modules are combined with "+" symbols. When manually entering
such event codes into the appropriate field to search in the Knowledge Base, enter the event code
components without spaces around the "+" symbols.
If the event code(s) is not recognized in the Knowledge Base, the base does not yet contain an article
to resolve the issue. In such cases, please open a trouble ticket with Acronis Customer Central.
