I have the same question which didn't seem to be answered. I just purchased(Jan 2007) a new Dell that came bundled with Roxio Creator MyDVD Combo LE and Roxio Creator MyDVD Combo Plus. I already own the application Roxio Easy Media Creator 8 Suite ----should I uninstall both bundled applications and then install my application?--or will those 2 Roxio programs serve the same functions?--Thank you

I'd uninstall the bundled apps - especially if there's nothing there you need and then re-install EMC8 on your new machine
However - a caveat - do NOT install WMP11 or IE7 on it as they will definitely break EMC8

If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

hmmmm---that's unfortunate 'cause I enjoy IE7 and WMP11--is EMC9 compatable with both?

The jury is still out on that - there have been reports that they are causing problems
For a tabbed browser, personally I'd recommend Firefox (I use it myself along with a lot of others). WMP11 - not sure but I believe it's far tighter on DRM (I still use 9 and it does what I want - I'd have stuck to 8 but SP2 didn't let me have a choice)

Hi:Thanks for your suggestions--I just posted a similar question in the Easy Media Creator 9 forum--I know its redundant but I'm hoping if an uninstall is necessary I only have to use the Add/Remove Program in the control panel and not have to start sifting through the registry--a task I really don't think I'm well versed in---thanks again for your help--RPS
