Disk Imaging and File Backup for Windows 7, Vista, XP and Server 2003/2008 RSS 2.0
# Friday, August 08, 2008

Important information

Date:

8th August 2008

Versions:

4.2.xxxx (xxxx < 2020)

Editions:

Free, Full, Trial

Issue:

Macrium Reflect uses Windows volatile environment variables to communicate with VBScript and MSDOS batch files.  These varaibles should not persist through successive reboots and should not cause any performance degredation.

It has beed noticed that under certain conditions these environment variables may persists between reboots. The effect of this is a build up of variables under the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment' and a general slowing down of certain actions in Windows. This includes opening Internet Explorer and other common Windows functions.

Note: Your backup and image archive integrity is not affected.

Resolution:

Upgrade to version 4.2.2020. Either download and install the latest version from www.macrium.com or click the 'Check for updates' toolbar button within Reflect. This update will automatically purge the variables and ensure that new environment varables do not persist through reboots.
