Title: Completely Manual
Post by peterM on Dec 6^th, 2010 at 4:35pm

Is it possible to run Ghost 15 in a completely manual mode?

By "manual" I mean no part of the program is running all the time in the background. When I want to do a backup I run the program. When the backup is finished I exit the program and it completely shuts down - nothing runs in the background.

Can that be done? If so, how do I set it to run that way?

Thanks.

Peter,

This seems to work. Let us know what you find.

1. In MSCONFIG remove the tick from VProTray.exe. Restart the computer.

2. In Services, Norton Ghost. Make the service Manual. Stop the service.

When you manually start Ghost 15 the Service starts too. So when you finish using Ghost 15 for that session, stop the Service.

Brian,

Thanks. That seems to work. It would be nice to find a way to stop the service again when I exit Ghost but I can handle that part manually for now.
