Guest Michael Q Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 I am experiencing problems with VSS while running NovaStor Backup software. It has been suggested that the VSS is corupted and I have used http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/940032/en-us to fix the problem. However I am getting an error message in RegSvr32 "LoadLibrary("vssui.dll") failed - The specified module could not be found. I have seen that there are downloads of this file when I have done a search in Google. Can I download the file and if so will it cause problems? -- Michael Q

Guest Michael Q Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Re: VSS Problem In my search for help on this matter I have seen the comment that VSS can be switched on or off. How do I do that? -- Michael Q "Doug Knox - [MS-MVP]" wrote: > The KB article you cite is for Windows Server 2003, not Windows XP.

Guest Doug Knox - [MS-MVP] Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Re: VSS Problem You would do that by clicking Start, Run and entering SERVICES.MSC Locate the Volume Shadow Copy Service, double click it, set it to Stopped and Disabled. However, any applications or services that depend on VSS will no longer function. -- Doug Knox, MS-MVP Windows Media Center\Windows Powered Smart Display\Security Win 95/98/Me/XP Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com -------------------------------- Per user Group Policy Restrictions for XP Home and XP Pro http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_securityconsole.htm -------------------------------- Please reply only to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
