Re: MS Backup

I'm just going to walk you through steps you probably already did, but here
goes.
Go to Start>run, then type in regedt32...that will open a slightly
different registry.
Once you navigate to 'setup', with 'setupt' highlighted, look at the pane
on the right of your screen, there will be numerous entries, one, likely the
last in the list, should be UpgradeInProgress. Now, if I mistakenly assumed
that you did exactly this, but the entry is not listed, sorry.

I think that the threads I followed after doing a Google were the same
threads you followed...I saw your post in another forum...but I'm not clear
what you have actually tried.
Did you run this command?
regsvr32ole32.dll

here is a link to the difference between the two , regedit/regedt32

One thing you can try, since it's a dll file that's the issue, is run
sfc/scannow.. here is a link with the sfc /scannow info.

You can also try to uninstall, then reinstall your NTBackup. Make sure you
have your disc for that first, though.
