Shane, I just downloaded version1.6.9 of Registry Backup, changed my date format and - Voilà!! Marvellous! Thanks mate for all your help, and needless to say - donation is on its way.

Tweaking.com - nice find.

Cheers, Ian (ijw)

Changing the date format did the trick. Backing up a treat!

However, still looking forward to a fix in a new version. I'm too long in the tooth to cope with too much change in my life - changing to the American date format permanently might be too much for me.

Shane, much obliged mate.

Ian

As you can see with the screen shot, there is nothing there except DESKTOPPC, which is my computer name. That folder is also empty. When you click view the logs button, nothing happens.

Thanks Shane,

The screen shots basically tell the story I think. Nothing is being saved it seems. I assume the logs would normally be saved in the program folder, but I can't find them. I followed your suggestion and used the fallback method, but with the same result. (Registry Backup b 1)

To be honest with you, I think it's probably not your program, but something to do my OS. (Windows 7 Ultimate.) Other programs I've used haven't been able to save the registry either. Even System Restore, although reporting a restore point has been saved - I have been unable to actually have one of these points work. Causing me some grief, I can tell you.

With this in mind, I tried Windows Repair V2.1.1. I followed the suggested steps; and a lot seemed to happen with the resulting bunch of reports shown in the attachment. Would one of these be helpful?

Cheers Ian.

I downloaded both registry backup and windows repair programs, and neither will make a backup of my registry. The attachment shows the result that I'm getting.
