I receive the same error message when installing Comodo Time Machine v2.6.7190.166 (19.7 MB) on a newly reformatted/activated Windows Vista Ultimate Edition SP2 32-Bit desktop (Optiplex GX620).

NOTE: I installed the same CTM version on three Dell Latitudes (D620, D630, and D820) without problems.
Maybe it's an issue with my Western Digital SATA I HDD or controller? When I try to run the CTM installer, I am asked to select my language (English). Then a green bar shows and progresses to install. After that, I receive a "please wait while the setup wizard prepares to guide you through the installation" message, followed by a noisy sound (HDD?) -- after that, I receive "COMODO Time Machine can not initialize operating system information."
I have already Disk Defragmented my HDD, and ran a scandisk prior to Windows Vista loading up. I only have one single boot volume and only one MBR.
If this is a known issue, please post more information on this. If you already have, then I am sorry and I apologize--my Google-fu is weak.
