| 367908 | 2005-06-29 05:12:00 | I am about to change my OS from 98E to XP Home I currently have Go Back installed and it has got me out of trouble on numerous occaions. If I install it with XP will it conflict with System Restore ? I have heard that System Restore has limitations and as I know Goback I would prefer to use it if possible, if and when I need to. | willbry (1555) | ||
| 367909 | 2005-06-29 05:26:00 | Hi Wilbry. I moved from 98SE to XP Pro and the version of GOBACK I had been using with 98 would not function on my new XP. As I started to load the XP, it identified several existing programmes that it didn't like and GOBACK was in the list. Mind you, so was Works 4.5, but after loading XP, I was able to reload Works and it runs well. Odd. I've used Restore several times without problems. | Scouse (83) | ||

Goback 4.0 is available for WinXP. System restore restores the SYSTEM, but not your personal stuff. Its good but not magic. Neither would GoBack be either though although I see it has an undelete feature. On the other hand its Nortons so that puts me off for a start. |

| 367911 | 2005-06-29 10:05:00 | Your 98 version of Goback wont work with xp. I agree Goback is the bizzo you can destroy your computer and all you have to do is push the reset button and hit space bar. Saved me more times I can remember. I always wondered why this program wasnt lauded so much. I suppose because it puts geeks out of work. tedheath |

| 367912 | 2005-06-30 06:14:00 | Thanks Scouse, pckk and ted heath for your replies. It's clear I won't be able to use Go Back with the new OS. but it was fantastic if I had lost a document or made an irretrievable muckup. I wasn't aware that S. Restore couldn't retrieve oeronal data , but I suppose XP will have so many other advantages not the least stability. I'm always having system freezes with 98 . Anyway thanks guys. Cheers willbry |
