If you have conflicts with your system or software files after you install an application, Version Conflict Manager is used to restore a backup file.

Version Conflict Manager lists all your backup files, the dates they were backed up, and the version numbers of backup and current files. When you restore a backup file, the current version is then backed up. Both versions remain available.

You can start Version Conflict Manager by clicking Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Information, and on the Tools menu, click Version Conflict Manager. Alternately, you can create a shortcut to the Version Conflict Manager by looking in your \Windows folder for Vcmui.exe. Create a shortcut to it in your System Tools folder for easy access later. Backed up files noted by VCM can be found in the \Windows\VCM folder.

Note: This tool should be used only by someone with advanced system knowledge or while under the direction of a technical support professional.
