Error message From Registery Backup on a UEFI system.

<< < (3/13) > >>

streetwolf:
If my memory serves me correctly I recall that after I switched over to UEFI I ran a manual backup and that also failed with some kind of error.  That is what led me to make the shortcut run as Admin.

Shane:
Is the manifest file in the folder with the program?

My machine supports UEFI but I would have to do a reinstall and dont want to do that lol. SO I cant test it myself yet.

streetwolf:
Yes, the Manifest file is in the folder with the program.  Since UEFI requires the volume to be GPT perhaps GPT is the problem.  I also hesitated going UEFI as a full install of W8 is required along with everything else but I wanted to take advantage of UEFI which so far I haven't seen any.

For some reason the shortcut I placed in my startup folder didn't start up when Windows loaded in the morning for the first time.  I then manually ran it and got the error message and Event Log error.  Seems marking the shortcut as Admin doesn't always work for some reason.

Shane:
UEFI isnt required for Windows 8. It is just one of the new options, suppose to protect against some viruses

--- Quote ---Secure boot

The UEFI 2.2 specification adds a protocol known as Secure boot, which can secure the boot process by preventing the loading of drivers or OS loaders that are not signed with an acceptable digital signature. When secure boot is enabled, it is initially placed in "Setup" mode, which allows a public key known as the "Platform key" (PK) to be written to the firmware. Once the key is written, secure boot enters "User" mode, where only drivers and loaders signed with the platform key can be loaded by the firmware. Additional "Key Exchange Keys" (KEK) can be added to a database stored in memory to allow other certificates to be used, but they must still have a connection to the private portion of the Platform key.[23] Secure boot can also be placed in "Custom" mode, where additional public keys can be added to the system that do not match the private key.[24]

Again though, the oddest part is that the program does the backup, even finishes the log. I think the crash is coming when the program tries to close itself. I wonder if there is a problem with any of the controls in the program closing out when the form isnt visible.

Shane, if you look at http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,278.msg3112.html#msg3112 you see that I have a similar crash on my brothers computer(Win xp Sp3) and the crash is still there!
