RESOLUTION

Rather than using the Configuration Backup tool, use another method to back up and restore the registry. For additional information, please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Configuration Backup version 4.0 for Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
