    Hi,
    please check the event logs on the failing PC for error messages and warnings (often around VSS and/or COM+) and post those here for further diagnostics.
    Sometimes 3rd party applications, i.e. Symantec Ghost) leave remains in the registry even after being uninstalled, which blocks the creation of Volume Shadow Copies.
    Also a very full disk with less than 10% free disk space can cause such issues.

    Best greetings from Germany

    I don't know how to acess the event logs you mention but I did uninstall NTI Shadow and after doing a file search I found some left over file still on the pc so I will remove those first and go from there . I have plenty of disk space. I appreciate the info.
