Error message From Registery Backup on a UEFI system.

[streetwolf]

Fired up my rig this morning and I got the error.  If you recall I also have my disk imaging software kick off when I first start my machine.  It also uses VSS.  I noticed that the RB error message took quite a long time to appear so I'm thinking that there was contention going on between RB and my DI software.

I've run the task manually from the scheduler a few times since with no error.  I'll change the RB task to delay running for 5 minutes to give my DI software time to finish.  I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to see what transpires.

Progress none the less

Let me know how it goes.

I have got the error two times now, it's then I start the computer. I see nowhere in Win XP where I can delay the start of Registry Backup in Task Scheduler, so I can try that.

I still get the error at times Shane. 

[Shane]

Do they at least happen less often?

Also have them run to where you can see the program and see how it goes as well.

It seems that I am having the error when my disk imaging software fires up first thing in the morning.  I set a delay of 5 minutes for RB to give my DI software time to complete it's thing but I still get the error. 

Today I started up my machine later than usual so my DI software didn't kick off due to the settings I use for it.  However RB did run with no error after it's 5 minute delay.  And As I've said before I can run RB manually from Task Scheduler with no problems. 

I've set the RB delay for 10 minutes for tomorrow.

It happens as often as before, but it's only the first time I start the computer I get the error.

I will try run RB normal in Task Scheduler, have to wait couple of days to see what happens.

I got the error again when I started up this morning even though I had RB delay for 10 minutes to give my disk imaging software time to finish.  As a test I deleted the RB backup and restarted my machine.  No DI backup was taken because I already took it but RB started up and finished with no error.

[Shane]

And the backups still finish? streetwolf when it is ran from the task scheduler are you running it as normal and not hidden?

I've always run it has hidden.  Want me to change it to something else?  If so what?

I don't understand why it works as long as my imaging software doesn't run when I first start up?  Is it VSS related?  Perhaps some VSS component doesn't get released by my imaging software?

[Shane]

Remove the schedule startup and tell the program to make a new one and have it run as normal.

So far I am leaning towards something with the cleanup of the controls. As for you other program I am wondering if something with its controls loaded into memory get in the way of mine in so odd way.

Try running your other program manually then the reg backup, does it still crash?

I dont think it is the VSS because the backups are Finishing. We have confirmed that the crashes have to be happening at shutdown of itself. Which tells me it has to be something with the cleanup of the controls.

Shane

[streetwolf]

will do.

I have run the RB with "normal" start in schedule options for a week now (on my brothers win xp computer) and no error!

Good to hear. Also helps confirm that it is a control problem (buttons, text boxes, ect. in the program). The reason why is controls are handled differently when they are not shown vs being drawn on screen.
