We own a lot of Compaq Deskpro computers, and a constant problem we are having is with the registry. Nearly every PC in the office has had the 'restore from backup problem' at one time or another. It can happen at any time whilst windows is running
Could any one give me advise on how to permanently fix this error

Ensure you have the latest service packs for the OS and that every motherboard has the latest BIOS upgrade to cope with all hardware.

I look after 60 compaqs and I have not had that problem at all. Could therefore also be related to some particular hardware driver or software you are running on your system.

To troubleshoot will be a lengtht process of elimination. So good luck.

Were these computers cloned??? If so did you take all the necessary steps to insure that all the hardware is exactly the same??? Next test the physical memory chip by chip in an after market tester. I had 150 bad HP Vectra machines that gave regestry errors due to bad 64 MB chips.

Hope this helps.

Try to check on your hard disk. I've encountered such problem on hard disk prior to formation of bad clusters or hard disk crash
