New to this program "Easy Media Creator 9, first thing I did is installed the program fully and YES! I did install the Content Disc 9 CD too. Installed great no errors or warnings.
My problem, when I go into MyDVD 9 program and want to look at my "Button Styles" well, I should be looking at some type of pictures right? I don't see any images but, only "DO NOT ENTER" like images a red circle with a red strike though it. I have many of them and each one of them has a image name as I scroll over with the mouse.
Things I've done to try to fix this; Installed the software as instructed issue started, Uninstalled and reinstalled the software same issue, Reloaded a fresh install of Windows XP to all my other video and sound drivers, windows updates ect, ect. and installed this software...Same issue.
What's going on with this program?? Is there a fix for this?? ...or can I fix this myself??

PLEASE HELP ME...
I bet that you have EMC V8 on your computer. When I had V8 and loaded V9. that is what I saw. You should remove V8. or If you don't have V8, then it is possible that V9 just couldn't find those images. When you installed V9, did you open VideoWave or MyDVD before installing the content disc?
Try doing a Windows>Control Panel> Add remove programs> V9 suite -- install repair.. Make sure that your anti-virus and anti-malware is turned off during the install. They may not allow certain entries to be registered properly in your Windows registry.
Please post your computer specs in your signature; that will help anytime you ask a question. Although I don't think that this is your problem; make sure that your DirectX 9c is up to date as are your drivers for your sound card.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

I have no good news as I've never been able to get this to show images. I can, however, use some of them just by dragging and dropping but only about 12 or so will work and it's guesswork for me. I just keep dragging and dropping and each time, wait a few seconds to see if the button changes. If not, I continue totally at random until one works. I have some systems that have similar cards (ATI) and another with Nvidia and none show the button styles for me. I've given up on this as I just get aggravated trying to figure it out. Everything else works fine for me.

Well, At first, I had Easy Media Creator 7 installed and before I installed Easy Media Creator 9. I uninstalled the old program first completely. Since I've stated before what I've done is reloaded a install of Windows XP completely with widows update (which includes : directx 9c, massive complete ALL updates, made sure everything was installed first). Since I did not install any anti-virus or firewall programs during this whole process installing Easy Media Creator 9, the same issue appeared and will not go away.
I have spent a total of 18+ hours, installing, uninstalling, a fresh complete install of windows XP to the barebone. Meaning installing windows OS, all updates, device drivers and NO other software such as anti-virus or firewall programs, IE7, Media Player 11 , but, I installed only Easy Media Creator 9.

So, I don't know what to do now...
Please don't double post; I just realized that you have two threads going on the same topic. You will get yourself and other responders confused. Refer to the original post.

I'm giving up...I'll try to return the software...
Before you give up, you said it was a clean install of the OS and then EMC. You may not have a program associated with the thumbnails giving you the do not enter symbol.
I am not in front of my computer right now so I don't know what graphic format the buttons are in. Lets say they are jpg's.
Use the windows control panel and choose folder options. Under file types, make sure that you have a program associated with the extension of the button graphic files. Preferably a Roxio graphic / picture editor / viewer.

Let me know if that was it..
Interesting and logical thought. I'm not sure what format the button styles are but I have no problems with associations with any file types with any other application but I'm interested in trying this out.

I just checked. They are png files. I have Windows Picture & Fax Viewer associated with these files.
There are also MK1 & MK2 file extensions. I would assume these are proprietary Roxio extensions.

Problem Fixed!
My solution :
I created a simply shortcut for "MyDVD9" and replaced it with the normal Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 group shortcut Icon "MyDVD", under "Roxio Easy Media Creator 9>Video>MyDVD9". And YES! I now see the Button Styles. Tried entering the program several times after the change even after reboot with the new shortcut, each time I see the Button Styles.
If I were to enter though the HOME screen into the video>Create a DVD with MyDVD, I get the same issue not seeing the Button Styles. So this tells me there's something wrong with the HOME interface MyDVD link to the program and also the normal group link shortcut "MyDVD".
Thanks for all the help! ...I think I was just going out of my mind with this problem for more than 18 hours playing with this issue and made me give up, But, kept trying problem solved! ...and now very happy!!
Interesting solution and rather odd that a link would do that. Thanks for letting us know.

Freesky2, your fix does indeed work for me even if all the buttons don't, some do and I can now see all the choices. Thanks for sharing your fix even though at first, I was extremely dumb with making my first shortcut
What even made you think outside the box?

Sounds like this should be put into the tips and tricks area.
I have always had problems with seeing all the panels in the pan and zoom editor of VideoWave. Based on the above, I opened VideoWave via the programs menu and not the Home menu. All three panels were there. Just to make sure, I closed it and opened VideoWave from the Home menu and did not get the panels. I know that Bruce doesn't use the Home menu and has (had) the same issue. Perplexing?

I used the Home menu up until yesterday when I found that MyDVD works properly, through Start/All Applications, when it didn't encode properly, if I went through the Home button.
I don't have the problem with the Start/All Programs.
Life is good!
