Dear JeanG:

I am no expert on this topic, but I have an HP Pavilion PC. It has the
HP Easy Backup program on it also. When I run the program, it wants to
automatically do a backup presenting a popup dialog box saying "Your
automatic backup is about to begin". If yours does this just click the
Cancel button.

Now on the first screen, at the bottom, there are three command boxes.
The third one from the left is entitled Restore Your Files. Click on
this command box. If your program is like mine, you should be able to
restore your file from your backup disk by following the program
prompts. (You may need to read the Help, if the prompts are not clear to
you.)

If you have further problems, just detail them, and I'm sure one of us
can help you.
Good luck, Cohjef

FYI: I believe that the HP Easy Backup program is just a "front-end"
that actually runs the Vista "Back up files", and "Restore files"
programs that can be found in the Vista Backup and Restore Center on the
Start menu. So you have two ways to get at the same backup and restore
programs.:geek:
