I have totally given up with it.

It never backs up properly.

I was sent one lot of photos and now i cannot have any more because it does not update

I tried to manually backup but that failed as well.

V stuff promised so much and failed to supply any of what they offered.

I can't even activate mine...I sign in, it says it was all OK, then up pops a page stating "due to a problem with your account... blah, blah, blah"

CS has reset my password 3 times, checked my account... but it still won't let me in...

Hmmm, thats strange maybe the luck of the draw lol... i can configure it manually auto and delete current backups etc, its working fast enough for me also... ill reply with feedback once ive ordered prints a few times see how it goes then lol.

Does anyone know if VM are currently working to fix VStuff?

I've just done a clean reinstall of Vista and I thought I'd try it again using the lastest version of the VStuff installer. Same problem though, it backs up so many hundreds of Meg then stops. It still shows that the real time backup is active and that it is uploading but it isn't and the activity log shows several pages of only blank lines.

It's a really great idea and I love the brick level back up of Outlook, I just wish they would release a working copy.

EDIT - I just remembered the trick about deselecting and reselecting your file selection. That's restarted it backing up again. I don't want to have to keep doing that every couple of days though. What's the point in an automatic backup if you have to keep manually checking it to keep the thing working!

Given that V Stuff doesn't make money directly and was just useful for a 2 page ad in a national newspaper and bragging rights on their webpages I doubt it's a high priority.

One would hope they would try and ensure it works somewhat though rather than just being a pure PR stunt that had to be done because Sky and BT had similar services.

I was actually about to post on here about how I get my free 100 photo prints. So am I right in thinking it has to be done through this V stuff?!
