VSS Problem

[Guest Michael Q]

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?

Re: VSS Problem

 

The KB article you cite is for Windows Server 2003, not Windows XP. The

vssui.dll file does not exist on a Windows XP System.

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?

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.
