1. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.

2. Locate and then click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\EventSystem\{26c409cc-ae86-11d1-b616-00805fc79216}\EventClasses\{FAF53CC4-BD73-4E36-83F1-2B23F46E513E}-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}-{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
3. Locate the TypeLib registry value.

NOTE The registry type of TypeLib should be shown as REG_EXPAND_SZ. If that is not the case, you have to delete the key, and then you have to recreate the key. To do this, follow these two steps:

 a. Select the TypeLib registry value, and then delete it.

 b. Create a new Expandable String Value, and then name it TypeLib.
4. Double-click the TypeLib registry value. In the Value Data box, type %systemroot%\system32\EVENTCLS.DLL, and then click OK.

5. Close Regedit.

6. Click Start, type services.msc in the Start Search box, and hit Enter.

7. Right-click the following services one at a time and click Restart:

• COM+ Event System
• Volume Shadow Copy
8. Close the Services snap-in.

9. Open an elevated command prompt, type vssadmin list writers, and then hit ENTER.

10. Verify that the VSS writers are now listed.

While I appreciate the work that you have put into this, I have to admit that I find the task
daunting.
I don't even know how to back up a registry, much less follow all those complex steps.
Would be very worried about tampering with the registry.
Is there a Microsoft fix tool for this by any chance?

Julian:
since you are nervous i'll write you a script to run then.

Julian:
here is a snapshot on how to back up your registry with windows repair.
i also uploaded a reg file that will re-apply the TypeLib reg_expand_sz
merge this reg file reboot your system then try the
--- Code: ---vssadmin list writers
--- End code ---
command again

Novice22:
Thanks Julian.
As it is after midnight I will have to leave it for tonight.
Hopefully it won't look too daunting when fresh tomorrow.
Thanks again.
