re-install the service.
Thanks

Press WinKey+R. Type services.msc. Press Enter. Scroll down to Windows

I have removed McAfee and it made no difference. I installed SP1 this
morning
in the vain hope it may help but no joy.
Thanks for your help guys.

McAfee is known to cause problems in Vista. Sometimes they don’t
show
up
immediately.
Replace McAfee with the free AVG
http://free.grisoft.com/ or Avast
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html, and Windows Firewall
and
Windows
Defender. Disabling McAfee is not enough. You need to completely
uninstall
it.

I only have McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.5.0i installed.
:
What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is
installed?
There
are some that cause problems which do not appear immediately.

I receive an error when trying to run the complete windows

The

I have used this on different machines and has worked fine. I
could
not
fine were it needs to be reinstalled from. Is it not part of
the
OS?.
Any
help would be great.
Hi Nick,
I have been working with Vista backup for a while now, and can
only
conclude it is total crap.
You hardly have a clue what is backupped (since M$ decided
that
descriptions as 'my images' are adequate).
You cannot set the target directory (always on a 'device').
I am not even touching the subject of backing up over network,
which
is
also totally broken.
In the end it returned only 0x800blabla errors on me, no
matter
what
I
tried (starting a fresh backup, modifying a sheduled backup,
etc).
I tried to get help from M$ and in here, but nobody had a
clue. I
Googled
my fingers blue and found a few 'solutions' that didn't work
for
me.
So I reinstalled Vista (phoned a few times with M$ for
freaking
activationcodes), installed SP1, crashed a few times: In
short:
The
usual.
Now my Vista runs, with SP1, and I will never touch that
backupcrap
again.
If you need a reliable backup, don't use M$ buildin stoftware,
it
is
broken beyound repair.
A few good solution are on the market.
Go have a look.
I use True Image of Acronis now, which is simple to use, can
make
differencial backups, supports total disk backup, etc. It
costs
(in
Holland) around 80 euro.
I cannot say if they are worth their money because I didn't
try
any
others
on Vista, but I am satisfied with thier software so far.
In my opinion: The time I lost fiddling around with M$ backup
was
100
fold
compensated if I immediately bought a working solution.
Isn't it always like that in retrospect? ;-)
Good luck
Erwin Moller
