Possible Bug with Windows 8?

[FlyingHorse]

On my system running Windows 8 x64 (which was a clean install) as well as virtual machines running Win8 x64, I get error messages both in the Scheduled Task log as well as in the Application Event log:

I run the backup on a schedule once per day. As you can see, if I run the task as System I get slightly different errors compared to running with Admin privileges.

Any ideas?

I wonder if this is the same thing some others are having. Where the backup works but when the program goes to close itself it crashes, thankfully after the backup and only when trying to close itself.

Are you able to run the program manually just fine? And I have seen this on every version of Windows but haven't been able to replicate it.

I think it has something to do with the controls on the window of the program, the people who have it crash have it set to run silently and not show itself, if you have it set to run silent try changing it to run shown and see if it still crashes and let me know. I just need to trace down the part that is crashing and get it fixed

Also do you have it running from the task scheduler under the system account or current user account?

Reason why I ask is I have mine set to run under the current user and I have it set to have it hide and show the tray icon and I have no errors. I want to mimic how you have yours setup and try it here to see if I can replicate it.
