Hi Bob I may not of been as clear as I should have been - I am trying to
restore backed up files from my word processor (Microsoft Office) made on my
own computer that were lost when it was repaired. These files were backed up
using HP Easy Backup but apparently my software (Microsoft Vista Home
Premium) does not have the function - Restore Files.

If you used HP Easy Backup for the backup operation, it's apparent
that you need to use the same software program to restore the backup.
