“Fixed an issue where a backup would stall indefinitely in some rare instances.”
This is not true. This issue still exists with Windows 1.16.1.

I hadn’t realized that there was a new version for the Mac. I will make sure to update mine ASAP.
Thanks for posting this information.

I’ve had to disable Mozy on both of my computers, as neither will boot when Mozy is allowed to load its components on startup. (These are both machines running fully updated XP.)
I’ve been a happy Mozy user for many years, and I’m quite frankly amazed that Mozy can break XP on two separate machines! Please fix it.
