More info please:
MPE version?
Mobile type?
Windows?
type of connection?
Despite of backup failure, is MPE works fine with your phone?

It should work in the current version 1.7.1 . If not - how many messages you want to import ?

@FJ: my version is the latest...i have a backup of lyk 4.25 mb that i just want to restore in the software including the sms's...but while i'm doing it MPE closes itself n da typical windows error comes that MPE had to close due to some problem...pleese can u help me!! N btw i tried restoring a backup of an earlier date n it was successful...tho 2 backups of later dates r not being restored!

@Khosrow: MPE 1.7.1, w700i, windows XP, n connection is thru bluetooth...i avnt tried using it before the backup restores tho m sire it'd work fyn!

I think the SMS-Archive is simply too big.
Please note that MyPhoneExplorer can store maximal 32000 messages. How many sms are currently in the archive and how many messages are in the backup (guessed value if you don't know it exactly) ?

The file contained many spaces in the lower part. Why did you edit the backupfile ? This raised MPE to crash.

I fixed the file - you've got mail.
