failure to restore Windows media player in XP sp2 using Acronis V. 9

Thread needs solution

Could not restore Window Media Player in XP sp2 using both my backups. Got error signals. Is this an Acronis backup software failure or Windows operating system not allowing changes to this software? Will new version 12 do any better?

What kind of restore are you attempting to do? Are you trying to restore program files on a file by file basis? If so, that won't work with most programs as the relevent registry entries won't be updated appropriately.

If you are doing a system parititon restore to the same machine, Windows won't know.
