Registry Backup Fails

(1/7) > >>

Charmin:
Hi

I am running Windows XP and am trying to use your Registry Backup program. Unfortunately it keeps failing to produce a backup with the following Log_VSS.txt file. 
I have tried your VSS repair program but no improvement.
Any ideas what is wrong.  The rest of my system seems to be working fine.

Everything seems to point to SQL, do you have SQL installed on the system?

Shane

Charmin:
Sorry Shane but what is SQL and how can I check if I have it?

Shane:
Go to Add/Remove programs and look for Microsoft SQL or anything like that and let me know :-)

When I find a fix for this I will make sure to get it added to the help file/ So thanks for letting me know and not just dropping the program, you are helping make it better :cheesy:

Shane

Charmin:
Hi Shane,

No sign of MicrosoftSQL iin add/remove programs, but on my system drive there are some SQL folders associated with Net Framework 3.  Should I try to get hold of Microsoft SQL?
