A number of times a day a box pops up with the message "File backup was
stopped, click to run..." How to I stop this message from coming up?-it is a
nuisance. I have looked and looked and can't find any way to turn it off. I
have Vista Home Basic.

click the start button and type "backup and restore" then click the item
"Backup and restore center" in the results list. in the window that comes
up, under the "back up files" section, click "Change settings". at the
bottom of the window that comes up you can turn auto backup up. this should
stop the popup. hope this helps,

just noticed a typo:
at the bottom of the window that comes up you can turn auto backup up.
should have been:
at the bottom of the window that comes up you can turn auto backup OFF.
??don't know what got into me :-) ??

Thanks guitardude but you must be looking at a different version of Vista
than I have as when I click change settings under backup files there is no
place to to turn anything off or on. There is nothing at the bottom of that
window.

now that I think about it, it is probably because I use Windows Live
OneCare. I think it uses the default windows backup stuff to run its
backups, so it disabled the built in auto backup since it was going to do
its own auto backup. I guess that the "turn off" button is not a toggle
function that displays turn on when off or turn off when on. it just shows
up when its off I guess. This might help you:

let me know.

Thanks guitardude. That may have done it. Time will tell. That is quite a
confusing place.
