This article was previously published under Q132828 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Compare or Restore commands in Windows 95 Backup,
Backup may stop responding, and then you cannot quit the Backup applet.
CAUSE
You selected an empty CD-ROM drive for the backup operation.
RESOLUTION
To quit the Backup applet, press CTL+ALT+DELETE to bring up the Close
Program dialog box. In the Close Program dialog box, click Backup, and then
click the End Task button.
MORE INFORMATION
An empty CD-ROM drive can be selected for a backup operation; however,
doing so can eventually cause the Backup applet to stop responding during
a compare or restore operation.
When you first select an empty CD-ROM drive for a backup operation, you
receive an error message. When you cancel the error message, if you do not
also deselect the drive, the drive remains selected during a backup of
other drives or files.
Although the backup operation appears to complete successfully, the Backup
applet stops when you try to compare or restore the backup files.
