Hi Roger, This is a most peculiar state of affairs you find yourself in. Perhaps you haven't touched the brandy because your copy of Acronis had already polished off the bottle. ;) Give the app the ol' three fingered salute (CTRL + ALT + DEL) and see what the Processes tab can tell you. If you see something related to the app, select it and click on the End Task button to put it back to sleep. You should then be able to run the Repair option which will hopefully sober the utility back up. If that doesn't help, you might try uninstalling/reinstalling, but I'm not quite sure how that would treat your already set options.
