Is anything known about the cause of the possible conflict?
Recently I have had two goes at installing GoBack onto a system running
WinXP Pro.
On both occasions I had a computer crash. I got a message that GoBack had
installed successfully, but on restarting the computer, it would not boot.
Is it possible that turning off System Restore would solve my installation
problem?
Dee.
