NTbackup.exe not opening correctly

Rhodri Stone

HI all,

I've been experiencing an issue with NTBACKUP on a Windows XP Professional
workstation for some time, and I'm hoping to get some advice.

When I attempt to open ntbackup.exe I briefly see the application flash up
on the screen before disappearing again (the task is not present in task
manager). This happens regardless of how I open it (e.g via CMD too).
However, I can open the application in safe mode - after which I took a
screengrab of task manager. I then booted again in standard mode and closed
any open applications from Task Manager by comparing it to the screengrab,
however still could not locate the issue.

Previous to this (and seemingly at the beginning of the problem) I opened
NTBackup and received DEP (Data Execution Prevention) errors that this app
was bad and was being closed by DEP. I then disabled DEP but have had no luck
in opening ntbackup since!.

Any help and suggestions will be most welcome!

You will have better chance in the microsoft.public.windowsxp.genaral.

Good Luck
