When I try to start XP Backup from the Programs menu it tries to start
but fails with no message.
I suspect the Removable Storage Service. There are Information items in
the Event viewer that it is Stopped, which is strange in that these
follow a message that it will be started. Also, I can't open the tree
to it in ControlPanel * Admin * ComputerManagement * Storage *
removeable storage.

Not long ago I added a Sony DVD writer with Nero 7 software. Could that
have disabled XP's Backup?
