Dave,
I followed the instructions and got to Item 7, but the fix would not
work and I received an error, something about not being able to apply
the fix.
Any thoughts?

Congratulations! You made the mistake of installing Acronis
TrueImage, and it hijacked the Windows Backup so that "Backup and
Restore" won't even open. I have the same problem; I posted about it
a year or so ago.

I have Acronis TrueImage installed and Windows Backup still opens for
me. I haven't tried to actually use it, but its GUI at least opens.

The reason I don't use SyncToy is that it doesn't handle Daylight Saving
Time changes well, since I used it for synchronizing FAT32 camera memory
with an NTFS folder.
These days I use Allway Sync, allway.com. The user interface confuses
me, but once I get it going I like the results.

It's difficult to say what the problem is without a meaningful error message.
What exactly were you doing to get an error message and what exactly was
the error message.

Do you still have the problem or have you fixed it ?Stan Brown said:
S
Stan Brown
I still have the problem. I Googled and found a purported solution
for those who had uninstalled Acronis, but I haven't uninstalled
Acronis because then I wouldn't be able to read any of the backups
I've already made.
S
Stan Brown
Amen! Why do people think they're making a useful trouble report
when they say "I got an error message something about [blah]" or even
"I got some error message"?

Acronis know all about this, there's a fix on here:Stan Brown said:

Since you don't want images, just standard backups, this is an excellent
free solution:
"The following excellent very user-friendly, free backup and imaging program
can restore to dissimilar hardware, which means that if the computer that
you created the backup on is stolen or rendered unusable, you can restore
the backup to a new computer that has different hardware components and
device drivers." -

At least it's a step up from "It doesn't work".
Translation: I fully agree with you and charliec.

But what if you have uninstalled Acronis. Would I have to reinstall
it to apply the fix to solve my Win7 Backup problem?
D
Dave-UK
No, the reg file you downloaded should fix your Windows
backup function. You don't need to have Acronis installed.

I thought that page was quite funny. A whole lot of text, telling
you how important it is to download their latest version. And
at the bottom of the page, is a tiny registry file.
http://kb.acronis.com/system/files/content/2010/09/14741/winintegrationfix.zip
What the registry file does, is it looks like it repairs a definition
of a CLSID. (A CLSID is part of a translation table, mapping a
long string of numbers to a program name, in the registry. It
allows a form of indirection in the registry design, such that
the CLSID can remain constant, while some other piece of software
comes along and changes the program bound to that CLSID. Kinda
like the damage you're suffering right now
)The ResourceDLL is a Unicode string, and it's been set
back to %SystemRoot%\System32\sdcpl.dll . That's the ASCII translation
of the numbers below. I think what that's doing, is putting the original
Windows value back in the registry. The "cpl" in the name,
probably stands for Control Panel.

You can back up (export) that registry key as it is currently defined,
then merge in the new key, and repeat your experiment to get the
configuration going.

that should resolve my problem?

that Windows likely had originally. %SystemRoot%\System32\sdcpl.dll
sounds like the value Microsoft was using.
You should try exporting that key first. You should end up with
another registry file, that looks similar to that one. That's in
case you want to undo the change. That's what I'd try first
Just for fun, you can try running
sdclt.exe /configure
and see if you get the backup panel that way. That's how
I get it to appear on my laptop.

I haven't got a clue if it will resolve your problem.
Until you provide some pertinent error messages it will remain a mystery.

Ok, I tried the fixed provided via the link. It produced the
following error:
----------------------------------------
In the Registry Editor Window:
Cannot import
C:\users\charlie\appdata\local\temp\WZ873a\fix-w7backupkeys.reg
Not all data was successfully written to the registry. Some keys are
open by the system or other processes.
-----------------------------------------
Just to check, I booted to Safe Mode and tried the fix again, with the
same error produced.
Where do I go from here to fix the problem?
