Shadow copy not working

I am a Vista Ultimate x64 user...

My problem is that the shadow copy service is not working. I have a lot of documents, images etc., but none of then have a "previous version".

System Restore is enabled, but I noticed that the"Volume Shadow Copy" service is set to manual and is not started. Should I set it to automatic?

Thanks for any help...

I found this tutorial: Previous Versions - Shadow Copy

TCP/IP NetBios Helper service was disabled, so I enabled it. It is working now, thanks.
