XP/Backup-Where can I find it?

[Bob Moyer]

System: Windows XP/sp2-with ALL of the current patches

Question: I am having a problem with a piece of Sony software. Their
support people gave me a list of things to delete and registry changes to be
made. Among their suggestions was to back up the registry before I deleted
anything. They furnished a link to MS if I did not know what I was doing
(very astute move on their part!). Below is the link. In the section about
"manual steps to back.......", there is an article #308422 that furnishes
additional info, including a .wmv player that explains/shows you how to use
backup. My system (actually, 2 different systems XP/sp2/current patches)
does not have this backup option. Is this an add-on? Please help as I really
need to get my troublesome software working and I want to play by Sony's
rules so I don't mess up my system.

Following other links in that article will lead you here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308422/ At the bottom of that article
you will find the information needed. If you don't have it on your
Windows CD try here:

John John,
Thanks very much for the information and the link. XP was installed by the
vendor on both of my systems. The CDs for each were included. Thanks again.
