That's where your problem probably is, a single file holding up progress. Can you uninstall Mail, then reinstall it after your backup is complete? That would be far better than a total reinstall. You can reinstall the single program, or the entire Windows Live Suite, if you want. Your mail should still be retained on the site, but check and make sure before proceeding. You may even be able to back your mails on a thumb drive, if you have to.I did disable Avast and the backup finished running except for this error:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Users\Kalario\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail\edb00001.log. ErrorData error (cyclic redundancy check). (0x80070017))
I believe it it fine. you think?
Kalario, just a thought you might look into.....I am doing the backup & restore for the first time since installing win7, and it hangs at 59% complete. I am doing the back up on a HHD via USB port, any ideas why this is happening?
Do you use any of the Windows Live programs? If not, you can uninstall them all. I have them on my computer, too, but basically there's other programs that does most, if not all of the same tasks. And even if you used Hotmail (I do), you don't need the suite. Some people like using their Photo Gallery and Messenger. The only reason that I have it, it was offered as a download for being a Genuine Advantage customer, and I took it. It's wasting space on my disc, and I'm getting ready to remove it now. If you don't have any use for it, you may as well, too.I do not use Windows Mail, I only use Gmail ...!!!
Windows Live is available to anyone running Windows 7. It's a free download. You don't have to be a "Genuine Advantage" customer to get it.The only reason that I have it, it was offered as a download for being a Genuine Advantage customer, and I took it
