Reinstall of MS Software Shadow Copy Provider?

[pcsmith811]

Hi, I am having an issue using backup software (Dantz Retrospect) and
it has
to do with the Volume Shadow Copy Service. When I attempt an open file
backup, I get an error saying permission denied and this event is
logged:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: VSS
Event Category: None

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error creating the Shadow Copy

I am thinking it's because the "MS Software Shadow Copy Provider" is
unable
to start. I have reinstalled COM+ and reregistered DLL's from posts I
have
read, but it still won't start.
This is the message I get when I attempt to start it:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None

Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for the MS Software Shadow Copy
Provider service to connect.

Any help aside from reinstalling would be greatly appreciated!

Also, when I go into Component Services, I do not see the Shadow Copy
Provider loaded under the COM+ applications... I really do not want to
reinstall XP, but it looks like all I can do at this point.
