Reinstall of MS Software Shadow Copy Provider?

Hi, I am having an issue using backup software (Dantz Retrospect) and

it has

to do with the Volume Shadow Copy Service. When I attempt an open file

backup, I get an error saying permission denied and this event is

logged:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: VSS

Event Category: None

Event ID: 12292

Date: 12/9/2005

Time: 4:46:34 AM

User: N/A

Computer: MICKEY

Description:

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error creating the Shadow Copy

Provider

COM class with CLSID {65ee1dba-8ff4-4a58-ac1c-3470ee2f376a}

[0x80040154].

I am thinking it's because the "MS Software Shadow Copy Provider" is

unable

to start. I have reinstalled COM+ and reregistered DLL's from posts I

have

read, but it still won't start.

This is the message I get when I attempt to start it:

Event Type: Error

Event Category: None

Any help aside from reinstalling would be greatly appreciated!
