There is supposed to be a vista patch coming for EC9. So where is it? Itunes had a problem with vista and has already released a patch for the problem. How long is this supposed to take?

It takes as long as it takes - when it's ready it will be released. That's as much as anyone knows (always presuming MS don't do more updates and change things again as they have done since Vista was released a week ago)

Vista took more than 5 years so a few days/weeks to get it right isn't bad. I have EMC9 working on my Vista system with no problems. What is it you are having problems with specifically.

That's a different problem and most likely has nothing to do with Vista. Have you tried all the suggestions posted under the activation forum?
Make sure you're firewall is shutdown.

I have been waiting since November for the update that will even let my EMC display the splash screen. Each time I start the program, it almost gets to the splash, and then goes to error message. Nero 7 works fine, but I have always found Roxio to be more intuitive, so I would rather have this work. It is an AMD 3000+ 64 bit system, with Vista 64 on it, and a GB Ram, with 125 ormore GB free on the hard drive. I do think I have been more than patient.

Wasn't Vista just released a couple of weeks ago? I don't have it, but hopefully the patch will be coming out soon, although some folks aren't having a problem running EMC 9 and Vista.

benrau,
Creator 9.0 is going through Vista logo certification testing now. Unlike some other companies, we are not just certifying one or two applications in our suite... we're testing and certifying the whole suite.

This takes some time, not only due to the size and depth of the Easy Media Creator suite, but due to the fact that we have to wait for a 3rd party test company to get back to us with test results with each round of testing. I wouldn't anticipate the Creator 9.1 update until the end of April.

That being said, Creator 9.0 is Vista compatible. Most of us running Vista at Roxio are running 32 bit versions, including me... so I can't say that I have the same confidence in 64 bit Vista as I do on 32 bit. In any case, the 9.1 update will be tested and certified on 64 bit Vista, and any bugs that we encounter in our testing will be addressed in this update.

I've been relatively lucky with running x64 though I'm pretty sure when I take the plunge on a new computer to run Vista exclusively, it'll most likely be the 32 bit version.
What's 9.1 have in it?

9.1 will not have new features (versus 9.0). It is a maintenance release. It will be the Vista Logo certified version of Creator 9.0. It will also contain other fixes made since Creator 9.0 was released.

Thanks for the info Tom.

Really nice to hear what's happening at Roxio Tom. From what you are suggesting I think there will be many users that will be happy at what Roxio has done with the 9 version. Thanks !!

I just installed EMC9 today on my Vista system. I was very hesitant given all the DLA noise running around this forum. I'm very happy to report, the package works rather well. In fact, it works better than on XP (same computer just upgraded with clean Vista Premium Home install).

Mind you, I did a custom install and did not install, all the media finder things, the photo pieces, DVD playing, etc., and I uninstalled Drag to Disc. So much of that stuff is already in Vista, it makes no sense to install them.

And before the Vista install, EMC9 was acting up very very badly on this machine.

dlebryk,
Thanks for the feedback. Reading through our support forums one might get the impression that there is nothing but problems. It's great to hear positive feedback once in a while.

While Vista's photo browse capability is a big improvement over XP I think you will find that PhotoSuite is much more capable than Photo Gallery.

The important thing there was "...clean Vista Premium Home install...". You had a nice shiny uncluttered registry and system files

Most people don't - either they did an 'upgrade' of XP and installed Vista over that or their XP installation was creaking at the seams already.

Still - it's nice to hear from someone who isn't screaming for blood

I don't accept the "vista was released last week" baloney. Microsoft provides vista to development partners for 6-9 months prior to release so they can develop and prepare their products for compatibility prior to launch. Most other roxio competitors have already released patches in regards to vista, so there is no excuse there.

I just installed Vista and I have to say that anyone that has very much software on their machines at all is running into this problem.I can't run at least 3 apps because they have not dealt with the Vista issue yet.So it's not just a Roxio issue.The major one being Symantec.

Hi Matt,
As you suggested, Roxio works closely with Microsoft as we develop new Windows products. In fact, we are a Premier Vista Launch Partner. Easy Media Creator 9 was designed from the start to be compatible with Windows Vista, and it is. Yes, there have been some minor issues reported, but we aren't seeing any critical issues that prevent Easy Media Creator 9 from running on Windows Vista.

There was a recent Microsoft Vista update that identifies one of our drivers as being incompatible with Windows Vista. This was due to a clerical error. Actually, the driver is compatible with Windows Vista. We have a workaround procedure for this, and we are also working to release a patch to fix this. If you see the issue - read this KB article... http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/Creator/000131CR

Do you have a Windows Vista system? Do you have any problems running Easy Media Creator 9 on Vista? Let us know if you have any issues.

By the way - have you checked out the new Roxio Central Windows Vista Technology Preview? It's pretty cool... if I say so myself.

Tom

And please make sure it will support also downloadable version of EMC.
