Hello, I have microsoft vista and for some reason I get a message saying it can't make a spare backup when starting the system, and this also prevents loadng some new programs. Is there anything I can do, and why do you think this happened? Thank you, John

Answer

Ok,

Download this file, CCleaner, it will cleanup your registry. Install it, then scan, and repair. Then restart and let me know if the same problem still happens.

Thanks and bookmark this page so you can come back.

Tried the download, but the same problem occurs

Accepted Answer

Uninstall SpareBackup from your computer, then re-install it and set it back up. This should be a 3rd party software program.
