Hi Alan,
I would not recommend using rollback applications that were designed for XP,
and nothing from Norton, who purchased GoBack.
Previous version/Shadow Copy can be used to recover single files and folders.

System Restore in Windows Vista well for recovering from system problems.

For Vista Business and Ultimate users there's Complete PC Backup.

For Vista Home users, Acronis True Image is a good choice.
