Image Backup with Windows 7 Backup Program
I recently upgraded my wife's laptop from Vista Home Premium to Windows
7 Home Premium. I installed a lot of applications on the system and decided
it was time to get an image backup of the system. I've been using Symantec's
Ghost 2003 program for image backups, but when I tried to backup the laptop
with it, it aborted part way through the backup. So I decided to try
the backup program that comes with Windows 7 to create an image backup. It
was fairly straightforward to use and I didn't encounter any problems with
it.

Comic Collector and Themida
When I tried starting
Comic
Collector 4.5.1 from
Collectorz.com,
a window opened with the title of "Themida" Within the window was the
statement "A monitor program has been found
running in your system. Please, unload it from memory and restart your program."
The Comic Collector software incorporates code from
Oceans Technologies called
Themida that attempts to stop anyone from debugging software that
incorporates the Themida code. I had
Process Monitor v2.8 from Microsoft running at the time. The Themida
code apparently detects changes made by Process Monitor to display file
and registry accesses in real-time and stops programs from running that
incorporate the Themida code, so that someone can't analyze the code
in real-time. It doesn't matter if you exit from Process Monitor; you
have to reboot the system to undo whatever change was made by Process
Monitor when it started in order to get Comic Collector to open.
