I installed Easy Media Creator 9 under my User ID, where I am an admin, on XP Pro.  It works great - for me only.  Now when my wife logs in, she gets Roxio errors on some files that are apparently not available to her user ID.   Drag-to-Disk is the only Roxio product running on her account and works fine.

Sounds like a permissions problem.  Welcome to windows.  Make her an admin and see if that helps.

Thanks for the coment but not helpfull.  Have you seen this before?  I may have a corrupt registry I'm thinking.  I uninstalled EMC 9 and reinstalled while logged on as administrator.  Same results.  I figured that my private file setting in Windoze may be causing it but again, no diff.

I am using EMC9 in multi-user environment. Installed as administrator-user and working as limited user. No errors so far, except the hassle with registering (or is it activation?)- I started EMC first as limited user and that confused the registration I think- I had to repeat everything as administrator-user.

BUT I installed EMC out of Program Files, in a directory with free access for all (of course shared files that automatically go to Program Files are there).

The only registry stunt I can now think of is to log in as admin, make a copy of hkcu\software\roxio, now log in as the other user, delete his hkcu\software\roxio and import the registry branch. IMPORTANT, backup your registry beforehand, and afair you may need to edit the reg file to fix some paths.

You are doing it on your own responsibility.
