84976 2002-10-01 21:48:00 Go Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Backup.

Run the programme and back-up the Windows folder, which includes the registry.

Also, go Start | Run | type msconfig | OK | click on Create Backup

84977 2002-10-01 22:49:00 Do you have a Zip Drive or Cd-Burner to put those files on once you're done with them? Otherwise, you may need to use WinZip to split the files between floppies (Less than ideal) Chilling_Silence (9)
84978 2002-10-01 23:24:00 Hi Greg S.In my ME that only brings up the option to System Restore.How can you save this to disc? Neil McC (178)
84979 2002-10-01 23:31:00 Oops, sorry, I thought ME would be the same as 98. Try this instead:

Go Start | Run | type msbackup | Ok

This should open up your backup programme. If it doesn't, it probably means it's not installed. In this case either add it via Add/Remove Programs (In Control Panel) or download and install a third-party application, which can be found in places like download.com or tucows.co.nz - there's bound to be a free or trial utility.
