    Ok, just downloaded Spybot after a reformat and when running the program for the first time I decided to use the backup registry feature. Did this on another computer, took a while, but did work. On this computer I waited a good 5 minutes and nothing so I clicked next and completed the install. Want to know why this did not work? Does it matter? Is there anything I should do or just leave as is? Any information on this feature would be helpful.

    PS - when I check the recovery feature, it is blank. When I check the recovery feature of the other computer I have this on it shows this backup. What gives???

    not sure about the specific problem, but as a side note, there are more reliable ways to backup the registry. (regedit/file/export, or the XP backup wizard(advanced)/system state).
