When I did vssadmin list writers using "cmd.exe run" I did not see any list. Using the cmd window I got this:-

I have just looked at the other two links that you suggested, but did not fully understand them as they seem to refer to server problems.  Have I got this right?

Just carried out all the checks given in the gfi.com link, including re-registering vss files.  No change, still the same log_vss.txt when I try to do a backup.  Also nothing in the "vssadmin" writers or provider lists.

Will try your other suggestions.

Hi Shane

Sorry for the delay but I am in the UK.

During my own investigation I was pointed to that reg key but found I did not have the "Catalogs" or "visio" sub keys.  Just to see if that was the area of the problem I added the following, which, from information on the web site, was the default:-

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex\Catalogs\System

Entry name                  Data type           Value

(Default)                       REG_SZ              (value not set)
IsIndexingNNTPSvc       REG_DWORD     0x0000000 (0)
IsIndexingW3Svc          REG_DWORD     0x0000000 (0)
Location                        REG_SZ             C:\System Volume Information


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex\Catalogs\Web

Entry name                                             Data type           Value

(Default)                                                  REG_SZ              (value not set)
FilterFilesWithUnknownExtensions          REG_DWORD      0x0000000 (0)
GenerateCharacterization                       REG_DWORD       0x0000001 (1)
IsIndexingNNTPSvc                                  REG_DWORD       0x0000000 (0)
IsIndexingW3Svc                                     REG_DWORD       0x0000001 (1)
Location                                                   REG_SZ                c:\inetpub
MaxCharacterization                                REG_DWORD        0x00000140 (320)
W3SvcInstance                                        REG_DWORD        0x0000001 (1)

Unfortunately it didn't help.

Sorry, not the source of the problem

Hi Shane,

No sign of MicrosoftSQL iin add/remove programs, but on my system drive there are some SQL folders associated with Net Framework 3.  Should I try to get hold of Microsoft SQL?

Hi

I am running Windows XP and am trying to use your Registry Backup program. Unfortunately it keeps failing to produce a backup with the following Log_VSS.txt file. 
I have tried your VSS repair program but no improvement.
Any ideas what is wrong.  The rest of my system seems to be working fine.
