Windows 7 x 64 RTM Ultimate Backup has failed completely. The system tells me that "the specified service does not exist as an installed service(0x80070424)" This is despite a partially successful first backup. Any ideas?

In that window can you view the files it has not backed up.

I deleted all files from my backup drive, and cleared the registry of all relevant info in an attempt to start fresh. Backup utility won't work at all.

Open a Command Prompt (as Administrator), and run the command
sfc /scannow

See if it picks anything up.

Thanks LH. sfc/scannow didn't pick up anything.
