GOBACK and RESTORE

[Michael P Gabriel]

Hi, Since I felt that Goback is a better program than WINXP's
Restore, I deleted Restore and installed Goback. It already saved my
butt on one occasion.

Whenever WINXP is finished loading, I can start working on anything,
except bring up my ISP dialog box. I have to wait until that dumb red
and black icon comes up informing me that I am..."Protected By
GoBAck"! That does not come up up for a long time after WIN XP is
up, and I'm stranded, just waiting until it does so I can start my
ISP.

How can I delete that dumb icon and message????? If I delete Goback
and reload, will I lose all my, "Restore Points",as WIN XP calls them?

Thanks for all help in the past,

Disable goback to get rid of the "protected by goback" dumb thing.

Disable goback to get rid of the "protected by goback" dumb thing.

I found that GoBack tended to slow a lot of things down when I tested it
some time ago.

One solution is to disable GoBack and when you're about to do something
stupid with your computer, enable it and make a restore point. Or make one
an a scheduled basis, daily, weekly, whatever you decide. Otherwise it just
sits there monitoring every move you make and tends to suck up a lot of
resources.

I agree. I got Drive Image 7. Use it weekly.

Hmm. My GoBack 3.2 Deluxe addition only adds about 3 seconds to my boot up
time since it appears on every boot to give me the opportunity to "go back"
during initial boot if I am somehow unable to boot to Windows XP and run
GoBack from there.

My total boot time is 1 minute. And I also use DriveImage 7.0 to image my
C: drive to my external 40 GB USB 2.0 hard drive. I think GoBack is great
but you have to fully understand how it controls your hard drive. If is
very jealous of any other program trying to modify the C: drive. And I did
not delete WinXP's Restore capability even though I've never used it since
GoBack does a complete restoration (unlike Restore)

GoBack does not have to be disabled. Just the 'protected by GoBack'
item. Do this: go to start-run-msconfig-services,
Uncheck: GoBack Polling, don't need, it is the 'ad' which says"
protected by GoBack"
