Problem exploring image in Acronis True Image 8.0.859

| I'm using v8.0.859, which I know is old, but...
I have no problem saving the image, and it checks as valid. When I
explore the image, it mounts ok, and everything looks ok at first.
The filenames and sizes are correct, but all of the files are
corrupted. Zips and RARs won't open, jpeg are corrupted, and text
files have lots of garbage.
Is it possible that the image is in fact ok, but the mounting and
file extraction functions are bad? That seems logical since the
image does check out as valid. (If it matters, I used maximum
compression to create the image.)
If so, is there a reasonable chance that a full restore of the
partition will be successful? That would let me get back the files
I need.
And finally, should I reinstall 8.0.859? I really can't remember if
I ever tried to explore an image before, but I think I may have. If
it worked before, maybe a reinstall would fix whatever is wrong.

The files you are viewing, have been compressed by Acronis, so
obviously you can`t just view them as ordinary files !.
Yes a full partition restore will work OK.
HTH.

Thanks. Perhaps I don't understand how this works. I go
into True Image and follow the Explore wizard for the image
in question, and it mounts the image as a new hard drive (H:
in my case). After that, I thought I would be able to copy
individual files from H: to other partitions, and that TI
would do the decompressing on the fly. That's the part that
doesn't work. In looking at H: in Windows Explorer, all the
individual folders and files appear to be there, but when I
actually copy a file, the result is corrupted.
Since my original post, I've been wondering if something
I've done since installing TI might have screwed it up,
possibly even one of the Windows Updates things. Well, I'll
try reinstalling TI and see if that helps.

| Nevermind. I found in the forum where this is a bug in the version
I'm using.

I hate to say this but I disagree. I can open the images types
mentioned, and html objects also.
More than that, using my version of Acronis I have the choice to mount
an image in read or read/write mode.
