How do I back up files in Windows XP? I went to START,
then ALL PROGRAMS, then ASSESSORIES, then SYSTEM
INFORMATION and I do not see BACK-UP!

What do I have to do to back up files before before I
fully install Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Thank you for all your help

Thank you for the Link.

I went to the link and downloaded the patch, but....I get
an error message that says:

The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
This can occur if you are running Windows in Safe Mode or
if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed.
Contact your support personnel for assistance.

As far I know, I am running Windows in regular mode.
But....I do have the Windows XP Service Pack 2 asking me
to Restart the computer and I am holding off until I back
up my personal files.

Thank you for your continued help.

Note: You have to right-click on the Backup installation file and select "Install".
