Acronis email fails-->Use Win messaging popup?
Between my wife's XP machine running Acronis True Image Home 09 and my Win7 running Acronis TIH 2010 I've had it with the software's finicky, mostly not, ability to send completion status emails to me.
I just noticed that her machine has the option to use something called Windows messenger popup.
Several things:
1. I remember years back Windows had a native LAN message thing that was the source of all manner of security issues and folks recommended turning it off. Is this the same thing?
2. There are 3rd party apps that do this--do they fill a gap that Windows no longer supplies or do they just do same better?
3. If this is indeed a valid option and I should be using a 3rd party app, are there 1 or 2 reliable freeware apps?
