Sorry Roy, that's still not enough info. Was it an Advent menu option to create backups that you used or do you have a version of Vista with the Microsoft backup facility?

Or did you use a totally different program. Not enough data to process at present..

right click the icon for the program it should be the third option down, if not then click properties and then click compatibility and it will be at the bottom just tick it and it will always run as administrator.

Vista Home Premium doesn't have the backup and restore software included as standard. Was it the Techguys `Recovery DVD Creator' software you used?
