Please list the updates that you have tried, so experts can assist you properly.

To attempt a fix for the msxml3 issue, download Xmlinst.exe from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1E6185D7-E4E4-43B1-8056-0E5ECD15A88A&displaylang=en and place it in \Windows\System32. Open a command prompt using a local admin account, and run "Xmlinst.exe -u". Then try re-registering msxml3.dll with Regsvr32 by running "REGSVR32 MSXML3.DLL". Finally, run Xmlinst.exe again, and reboot.

After the reboot, try "regsvr32 /u swprv.dll" and "regsvr32 /i swprv.dll".

Ok, the above  has worked me through the VSS Problem Now I am able to take a system state backup on to a file,

But when I try the same backup on a Tape I get the following error;

Error: C: is not a valid drive, or you do not have access.

The Tape is new, and I have checked it, I will try again with a new Tape, using Windows 2003 SP1,

Any ideas, why this happens.
