Goback 4 and WinXP Home Patch

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hello -

After being assured that Goback4 was compatabile with WinXP, I installed it,
only to have to uninstall it because of Stop Error Code. I telephoned Dell
and they said this was a known problem (conflicted with System Restore, I
think they said), there was a patch for it. I have searched and searched for
information on this patch. Cannot find it or a reference to it.

I had used Goback on Win98 and was most satisfied. I would like to use it
again, if possible.

Does anyone know of this patch, or should I just forget about using Goback?

Thank you very much.

It is a conflict with DEP in SP2 on certain systems


SP2's DEP issue on an Athlon64 PCI Express system with Goback 3 or Goback 4
(or other "incompatible" applications/programs) can be resolved easily by
adding the following after the default Boot in Boot.ini

/noexecute=alwaysoff /NOPAE

so that it reads something like

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINXPH="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition" /fastdetect /noexecute=alwaysoff /NOPAE

instead of


[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINXPH="Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn




System Restore ONLY works if Windows will boot .... If you delete your
Windows folder or rename it and empty the recycle bin system restore is
useless ... if you delete all your fonts and try to use system restore ... it
is useless .... Goback can fix all those and more .... I disable the useless
System Restore (patterned after Second Chance from Powerquest [which is
discontinued software,] and use Goback

To edit boot.ini you can right click Control Panel, System, Advanced, Startup
and Recovery, and Edit button be sure to SAVE after you edit

Alternatively, if in Folder Options you have set to view hidden and System
files .... you can just go to C drive and right click on Boot.ini ... select
Properties ... uncheck Read Only ... then Open with Notepad and edit it then
click File Save ...

before you do any of the boot.ini editing ... if you have never done this
before, make a copy of c:\boot.ini before you edit it.

You might inform Dell and Symantec about this ... it isn't a system Restore
conflict, but a DEP conflict with SP2 and Goback and certain systems
(especially "some" Athlon 64 systems and "some" Intel systems capable of 64
bit processing, Michael (Dell) went to my high school. my boss sold him an
Arabian horse for his daughter, but we aren't on speaking terms (my computers
are faster than his) <grin>

Thank you for your response. I had initially contacted Dell and tried to
contact Symantec about this. I had no luck with Symantec nor their
'knowledge base' for my problem. They did refund my $, but I would still buy
the product if I felt assured I wouldn't crash....

I had a Celeron CPU 260GHZ....

Again, my thanks for your advice. As I mentioned, I have a Celeron, so will
adding the line you suggest help, do you think?

Also, should I disable System Restore prior to installing GoBack4?

Does this 'patch' apply equally to WINXP Pro?

The installation of GoBack should disable Window's System Recovery for you.
IIRC, Windows System Recovery is actually a very stripped-down version of
GoBack.
