1167206 2011-01-04 21:55:00 I thought I would give the Windows 7 Backup a try but I can't open the Backup and Restore Center. Click on it but nothing happens. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Pato (2463)
1167207 2011-01-05 02:42:00 I had Acronis True Image installed and uninstalled it using "Revo Uninstaller" perhaps I removed something from the Registry that has caused the problem with Win7 Backup. I am certain I was careful to only remove the 'Bold" entries. Is this the likely cause.? Pato (2463)
1167208 2011-01-05 03:58:00 Have you tried rebooting after removing Acronis ?

When you say it wont open -- any error message ?

Edited: Have a read of this (social.answers.microsoft.com)Yes, I have rebooted a couple of times. It just won't open. No error message nothing!! I only had this computer built a few months ago so it may not have been working from the start, as I have not bother with it up until I had my fill of Acronis.

1167211 2011-01-05 07:35:00 System restore to before removing?No. Unfortunately I didn't think of that. Bit late now eh.? I have the Acronis restore disk but that is a bit late also seeing I have removed Acronis. Pato (2463)
1167212 2011-01-05 07:50:00 Did you run the instructions as per the linked article ---- scf /scannow ?

Edited: have a read of THIS ARTICLE (www.sevenforums.com) At the end there is a fix for the reg.

No idea if it will work or not, since I cant replicate your problem to test it.

They would be simple to a professional such as yourself.
I fear that I might make things worse. I guess I can do without a backup system eh.?

1167214 2011-01-05 08:04:00 I guess I can do without a backup system eh You sure can UNTIL something goes wrong, then you wish you had it.

Not to sure If I read your answer correctly, but if you have not yet run sfc /scannow - do that as per the previous articles instructions. Its rare for that to cause more problems,normally it will either fix the problem or do nothing.

No idea if it will work or not, since I cant replicate your problem to test it.I must have something radically wrong.
I typed in the Run sfc /scannow and it just flashed, it wouldn't bring up the normal window. It may be a job for an expert.?
Any other suggestions I can try.? It looks like some of the applications aren't working.?
