Help Won't Reinstall Apps

I have the Samsung Galaxy S through AT&T. I had to factory reset my phone to correct an issue. I downloaded the App "Back up pro" and backed up all of my information. Now I am trying to get it back and my contacts came back but they were messed up and now I can't get all of my apps to come back....I keep getting this message "Install Blocked-For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market"

How do I fix this without going out to the market and searching and reinstalling all of them?

You have a ATT captivate, they disabled this function. I think you can if you root, but stock will not "side load apps", aka, let you install apps from places other than the market. You can either re-install them manually, or root your phone to get this function to work.

Hope that helps.

P.S. this is the wrong forum, if you have other issues with your captivate, go to that forum, and you will get a lot more help.
