When selecting an image file in "Open backup file" dialog, the following error is displayed:
ERROR : Access Violation at 0x005B28E0 (tried to read from 0x00000000), program terminated?
This happens because the image was created by a newer version of software than the one used to open the image. Most likely the version of Disk Image on BootDisk is outdated. Update software and try again.
