I have used Mox Back up before and it has always been most helpful

However I have just installed Windows 7 and am trying to restore my e-mails, address book etc, but it is not allowing me to do so

When it creates the back asking me to insert the back up profile, by browsing my documents, it shows the back up as being in the box but does not allow the 'next' button to be pressed, allowing me only to go back or cancel

Can anyone assist please. As I have said I have never had any problems wityh Moz Back Up before?

Is this a Windows 7 thing? If so does anyone know if there is '7 specific' programme I am able to use?

Many thanks in advance if you can help.

Hi welcome StevieB to TheWindowsClub forum,
I'm sorry I cannot help you since I never had a single problem with MozBackup.

Did you try the latest stable version: 1.4.10?
It is Windows 7 compatible
And did you run it as administrator?

[StevieB]

I have downloaded this latest version but it is still not working for me

It is fine until I get to get to the profile section

I select the back up file to restore but the option to click on the 'next' button is then not available. It is shaded grey with the only option to go back or cancel

I have no idea why this is. I too have used Moz Back Up a number of times without any problems

However until I solve the problem cannot transfer any of my mails or addresses

Any ideas anyone?

PS....not sure what you meant by "Running it as an administrator"

How do I do that and why would I?

Many thanks for any help

1. Right click on the program shortcut or program .exe file, and click on Run as administrator.
2. If prompted by UAC (*) , then click on Yes to apply permission to allow the program to run with full permission as an administrator.

NOTE: If you are doing this is while logged in as standard user instead of an administrator, then you will need to provide the administrator's password before the program will run as administrator.

Hope it helps
