Hi

Sorry to say, i have had EMC 10 for several months and not installed. I need to remove Nero, first, i have some things i want to do with EMC10 that i do not have full rights to do on Nero, adding music for example,.

What uninstalling steps of Nero do i need do to install EMC 10?
Thanks

Why do you need to uninstall Nero. The EMC 10 install has nothing to do with Nero If you don't have full rights to "add music" with Nero why would you think you would have the right using EMC 10?

Well maybe i spent 50,00 for nothing

first of all i do not have the full version of nero, that allows that to be done,

I assumed EMC 1O DID THAT being i have an unopened FULL VERSION,

MAYBE I BETTER GET RID OF IT ALSO

The reason i asked the question if you care to read it again, is there is a cleaning tool to remove remnants of NERO maybe you are not familiar with that either??????

Ump,

Nero is a competitor of Roxio I'd suggest going to the Nero Boards to see if they have instructions re: complete removal of their program. This is a Roxio board.

Two other things:
1. Walt correctly suggested the two (Nero & Roxio) can co-exist on the same pc.
2. Did you buy Creator 2010 for $50.00? Hopefully not EMC10, a 2 year old program ....

Like i said , it's beem in the box for a year, it seems i have to explain my history here not get answers, it was on sale from a brick and mortar for 50.00 then, but if it will not add music to a dvd then it is no use to me so i might as well stick with nero,, attitude i don't need, tech help questions is what i thought i might receive, The last roxio i had was 5 i believe and that was on an external drive, i am really not a rookie, but i thought there may be some roxio users here , i formerly was told both programs were not compatible, not by nero but roxio somewhere on this board, but right now the best thing i can see is get the hammer out

EMC10 allows you to add music to a DVD -- for example, in slideshows? What program in EMC10 did you use that would not allow you to add music?

Caveat: itunes for a long while added "DRM" / protection to music it sold; you cannot add copy-protected music to EMC10 projects.

NONE so don't use the hammer yet.

Why would you even think that someone on the Roxio board would know how to remove Nero
EMC 10 adds music without problems as long as it doesn't have DRM. This is just like with Nero.

I am sure nobody on this board ever stated that Roxio were not compatible. The only programs that used to clash wer Nero's InCD and Roxios Drag to Disc which has been dropped by Roxio anyway. But then you can never have 2 packet writing programs on the same computer anyway, no matter what manufacturer.

I have very good luck uninstalling software using Revo Uninstaller in the Moderate mode. It is a freebie. Use at your own risk.

Well i tried to install and came to serial # entry, where do i find that? There are # 's on the box and dvd packet but do not relate to serial #?
thanks

You shouldn't find it anywhere on the box.

On my EMC 10 it was on a label stuck on the back of the DVD envelope. The actual serial # is alpha-numeric, but I've replaced mine in this clip with X characters.

thanks

i did find it got it installed

question

my normal network icon is now a MEDIA MANAGING SERVICE, Am i to close any of those or leave as is until i need a use for it?
thanks

i checked for updates under about or tools or help, none came up, is that service pak to be installed or was it when i did the disc install?

I don't know what you mean by saying your "normal network icon is now a MEDIA MANAGING SERVICE". The Roxio suites usually have a 'Media Manager' which will sit there 'watching' drives and folders and consuming large amounts of time and resources to catalog all your video, audio, and pictures. I turn all that stuff off, and when I want to use video or audio files I add them manually. Call me 'retro', but I know where I keep my files and don't want to hang around while some Roxio program 'watches' them.

As for Updates, the check for these under the Help menu involves use of an update subscription service which Roxio sometimes subscribes a suite to and sometimes doesn't.

If you have version 10.0 there are no updates as such, but you can download the complete version 10.1 [747 MB] from Support > Software Updates at the top of this forum page. This 10.1 installer will [if it works properly] Uninstall your 10.0 and install 10.1.

10.1 does not offer any new features, but it has a new Label Creator which will NOT use anything saved from an earlier version, even from 10.0

You can also download the "content" file [764 MB] from that web page, if you don't already have it.

Thanks
The network icon is back today after bootup.

A couple questions if you don't mind.

1, Where can i disable that media manager i don't need it?
2. In reading the manual, i don't see any discussion on "finalizing a dvd after burn? "a quick read"
3. I see in tools i think there is finalize feature. When i ran ec 5 years ago you had to select finalize, then i got a new pc with nero and it just finalizes auto.

4. I use firefox a lot and i had a nightmare here logging in, i have some other no scripting tools added, so do i need use IE7? I'd rather use fire fox, i've changed the password about 5 times in 24 hours plus being locked out?

thanks

A couple of quick answers:

I'll have to go and install EMC 10 to get you the info re the media manager, and to check the finalizing aspect.
I'm pretty sure that EMC 10 auto-finalizes except for a multi-session data disc, when you need the disc left open.

I'm using FF 3.5.5 here, and have had no problems logging in to this site with it, except their log-in server is a bit patchy in performance. You do need to allow cookies from forums.support.roxio.com, and if you destroy those cookies you'll need to log in again. I've usually found that I.E. is the difficult browser to log in with, and soon the site will probably be incompatible with I.E.6

I'll be back after I've installed EMC 10 and had a paddle in it.

Regards,
Brendon

What kind of DVD are you burning? If a video DVD, the DVDs are finalized automatically. If a data DVD then you set the option to "Make Disc read only" to finalize it. Some more details on what you are doing might help.

I use Firefox all the time for these forums and have never had a problem logging in or changed my password in 6 years.

It seems there are a lot of problems with your system and not any software

Hi Umpireshort,

I see Walt has already answered you on the finalization question - thanks Walt.

For the Media Manager thing, run Media Manager, then go to Tools > Stop Watching Folders, and it's as easy as that.

Does the login ask for your id or your email?

If the id, it won't work, either IE or FF. Bad link by the Forum host.

Try the log-in at the top of the page.

Thanks

I see now Roxio has a page they don't need , if it's disabled for "log in" why not just get rid of it?

Now i know Lynn, thanks, ". the top worked had i only known !

Nothing wrong with my system just the software i deal with and the bad web PAGES that should be deleted.

I disabled MEDIA MANAGER IN Msconfig

I know where my videos and photos are, don't need a SPY looking at them.

IIt's not what i'm doing it's the description of tools available, i did not see anywhere where it was finalized automatically, whether data dvd , slide show, ? As long as it's automatic, so i know whether to "finalize" or not

Anything video is always finalized (in every video program) and it has always been that way.
For data discs you can decide whether to finalize or not. Which program are you using to create data discs?

I have no idea what you are referring to by this "I see now Roxio has a page they don't need , if it's disabled for "log in" why not just get rid of it?? What page are you talking about?

------------------------

I tried to copy my first data disc last night and the system froze, task manager would not even open, i did get a copy today but got an error message, one or more files do not compare to oeiginals, please remember to close all programs, never had that problem with Nero. I had closed Media manager under msconfig, have not triied again, because i did not want to go through another system freeze, . I put the dvd back in and it appears the files are there in folders, but it hangs all the time, froze doing that. if this keeps up, i will not be using EMC 10, here is the link that is dead ,
http://forums.support.roxio.com/index.php?...amp;qpid=301147
now i see the fine print "disabled"

i have 2 screen shots of the error message, can you attach screen shots on this forum?

Umpireshort,

You're quoting me in your post #21, but you're obviously not answering me or talking to me and I don't know why you stopped using Nero if it's so good.

I'll leave you to whomever you're talking with - it's too confusing otherwise.

Good luck.

YOU are right, i don't know why i tredd Roxio EMC 10, one should never let past experiences assume they will be they same in the future, be that the case i UNINSTALLED EMC 1O, after going through Roxio -Legacy TECH SUPPORT "WOW", if you only knew what they said,, I don't need the hassle, I am back to NERO

good luck
