I am attempting to restore files backed up using the Windows 3.1x backup
utility. I'm running XP Pro now. I've found an old version of the "backup"
utility, that loads, but then says it is configured incorrectly, that there
must be a certain line in the system.ini file "Windows System"
directory--then the computer must reboot for the change to take effect.
There is such a directory, but there was no system.ini file in it when I
went there. I put the file in the directory, with the device drivers
"fvintd.386" named, with the proper path, etc. Problem is, seems rebooting
does no good, since XP Pro doesn't even look for this file when it boots. I
suspect it's a registry problem, but sorting that out is beyond anything I
can manage.
Anyone have any suggestions?
