Thanks but I have it,

[Uliwooly]

that's quite odd, and you are trying to run this on 32bit win7 or 64bit win7?

64 bit but also tried to run on 32 bit, in both Win7 and 8.  Thanks.

win8 won't work, but win7 either version should work, have you consider create a new admin account and install sus then run it?

how about restart your PC on safemode then run SUS or PCC

I tried that also in Safe mode, I followed the instructions to BACK UP MY PHONE! Big mistake as the Xperia S flagship does not let you retrieve you backup! I mean what is all that about?

t's LAUGHABLE and disgraceful at the same time!

So now I have lost all my stuff, checking out after that SONY recommend i use a third party one instead which I have to buy! Why,Why do they put the backup software on this phone that does not work? SONY have got a complete lemon with this phones problems, I will not be recommending this model at all.  Definately looking for  a Sammy S3 now.
