I moved your post here since that is an old Sonic application. I see at least one other post in this section of the forum but no response to it. You may want to seach in this section and/or the Microsoft web site for some help. The information I saw there was from almost 4 years ago and may not be relevant now.
Did you watch this MS how to (link)?Does your computer meet the minimum requirements for this product? I doubt that it will run in Vista.

Try to use the remove button to get rid of it. If you can't, use Revo Uninstaller in the Moderate Mode (or less) to get rid of it.
Then follow these directions to prepare your computer and then re-install. Remember one of the most important things is to shut down, not just pause, your anti-virus.
If you can't get it to work, you have 30 days to get a refund or consider an upgrade.
