CTM installs but keeps rebooting

Bug Reports - CTM
1

I’m trying to install Comodo Time Machine 2.6.138262.166 on an Emachines T3504 on Windows XP home SP3.
It installs except for the hang installing the ClientService.exe service I reported here:
https://forums.comodo.com/help-ctm/installing-comodo-time-machine-is-hanging-t55605.0.html
and I reboot the machine to finish the install.
The machine reboots and the install finishes (it hangs for ~60 seconds at 3%) and starts booting Windows:

  • I get my screen giving me a choice of booting windows XP or the windows recovery console
  • then the screen goes black for ~90 seconds (this does not happen without CTM)
  • then I get the usual booting Windows XP screen for ~7 seconds and
  • then it reboots,
    and this cycle repeats.

Luckily when the CTM screen appears I can press the home key and choose uninstall and it uninstalls sucessfully.

How can I get CTM to install?

I suggest NOT to install it. CTM rendered many computers ■■■■■. :o

hi, rjbutera

Rebooting problem should be caused by the hanging problem. We will look into the issue and fix it in the future. Thank you for feedback!

Best Regards,

I really don’t think the hanging problem has anything to do with the rebooting problem.
I got the hanging problem on 3 other XP machines, worked around it in exactly the same way,
and none of them had the rebooting problem.

FYI: After the rebooting problem with CTM on this one machine, I tried to install EAZ-FIX V9.1
and it installed and rebooted without any problems and seems to works fine .
