edit schedule
Tomas_Sweden:
If a program is easy, the settings are usually set in a specific manner, that you can not change if you want to, if you are lucky, you get the way you want, if you are unlucky, you get in a way you don't want want it to be.
If you look at ERUNT, during installation you get this question: Setup can add a shortcut to your Start menu's Startup folder so That ERUNT creates a bacukup of your registry Each time Windows is started. Which means that ERUNT adds all the backups to the folder "C:\Windows\ERUNT" And you can't change it to something else.
In "Tweaking.com - Registry Backup" you can change the backup location, but if you leave it as it is from start it will backup in "C:\RegBackup\". So ERUNT isn't easier in that respect.
So with autobackup in "ERUNT" the program ask when you install it: AutoBackup will always keep recent registry copies of 30 days. Create an ERUNT entry in the Startup folder?
I think it means that ERUNT create one copy per day and saves the copies for 30 days.
With "Tweaking.com - Registry Backup" you have to choose yourself if you want use the Schedule option, if you want, you have to click "Create Schedule" and "Tweaking.com - Registry Backup" makes a copy everytime a user logs in to windows and save it for 30 days or you can choose for yourself.
Erunt doesn't use Task Scheduler, but it's in similar way, with the difference to "Tweaking.com - Registry Backup" that you can not choose for yourself.
The advantage with "Tweaking.com - Registry Backup" is that you can choose many different settings and also that the "Tweaking.com - Registry Backup" takes advantages of Task Scheduler.
I have read that some people have problems with ERUNT'S autobackup in Windows 7: "Some have had problems with the autobackup feature in Windows 7. This feature makes a complete registry backup every day. For some this doesn't work, so you can accomplish this using the Task Scheduler instead."

I didn't take it as if you were trying to start trouble. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help you. As far as I am concerned everything is fine :cheesy: Sounds like your laptop isn't running right. I have vista and 1 gig of ram on my lap top with no problems. I wonder if you have some background process running that don't need to be.

Both of my pcs run fine with printing, surfing, and all programs. I can do what I want to. The only glitch was when I tried to set the schedule for tweaks program on the laptop. It indicated it would not stop running at one time then another time it said it stopped. The settings were indentical to the desktop which worked. There may have been a common sense setting that I changed I don't remember. I know I would have checked it not to keep running.
I have other programs set to run on schedules like av etc a with no trouble.
I think the program is good for many people but just not for me as there is a gap between what I thought it would be and what it is. I may change my mind later but I had an awful time removing it from the laptop -I saw new terms like abort etc. I like programs that provide a thorogh removal. -don't you?
I agree one can use the default schedule and can manually back up and restore.
I guess I am a bit worn down from all this techie stiuff I was trying to avoid. I realy do wish you all the best with your program and thank you for your past help.
If you suspect problems with my scheduler I am open to suggetions but I don't think it is faaulty.
I know you will eventually have a smooth runing program and I will tell people what is good about it not otherwise.

Wonder if the program was stuck? and so didnt close. You must not reboot the laptop much or it would have been killed at reboot.
Instead of having the schedule run under the system account have it run under the normal user instead. This way you will see the program, and if it is having trouble you will see it.
So reboot if you haven't done so in a while. (You should always reboot at least once a week if you currently don't. I shut down my pc every night at bed time. There is no benefit to leaving Windows running)
Once backup open the reg backup and have it delete the schedule.
Then have put it on run as current user and have it create the new schedule and then see how things go from there :wink:

It did appear as if it was stuck. My machines are rebooted a couple of times a day.
I have all Tweak's information in a folder.
Thank you for your help.
