Hi,
First of all, I'd have to say that the No-Go is at the point where the
list is suppose to appear. I kind of found it, but then I lost it and
never was able to find it again.
Nor was I able to scrole through the list. But, perhaps, I found a
workaround.
This is what I finally did to recover the file that I deliberately
deleted.
Without using the Time Machine's Lookup pannel, I did the following--
I went to the desktop and to the Time Machine Backup Drive. to the
Root folder that is called time machine backups.db or something like
that. Then O opened the file that was the one called Latest Backup.
Then I navigated to where my home folder is located on this drive.
Next I logged into the user name Sparsebundle.
When I did this, an accessible copy of the Sparsebundle was placed on
my desktop and I was placed in this folder. I located the Documents
folder where this file is. Then I copied the file to the Documents
folder in my primary drive.
Then I restarted the machine and the Sparsebundle was then removed
from my main drive.
The nice thing about doing it this way is that till you reboot, the
accessible files are still on your desktop in case you have something
else you want to recover.
This is a long way around to do things, I'm sure, but it does work.
You can also use spotlight as well to look for files.
Sorry this is clear as mud, but that's how I kind of felt about it.
I'm still going to play around with it some more.

Ok, two questions.
You say "on the right side of the screen" are the lists of backups.
What does this look like? Is this a table or list or something you
interact with?
Secondly, you say "no go". At wht point is the "no go". Can't access
the backup, can't find the file, can't restore it?
Thanks.
