I was given one of these for Christmas by my brother (I asked for a la cie rugged one but never mind!). Am getting the same problem with the software, and the annoying thing about it is that the preferences are extremely limited. In most software you can tell it to only come on when you want it to, but this one gives you no choice. Oh well I don’t have the heart to give it back or ask for the receipt, so I’ll see how it goes and uninstall the software if the problem carries on.
By the way, Windows XP has its own backup utility, which I think you have to install specially from the CD, at least in the home edition (it is not included in the default installation but is an optional extra on the CD). I haven’t used it yet so does anyone know if this is worth considering as an alternative?
