I had to reformat my C drive in Feb. after reinstalling Roxio 7. I can no longer burn CD's. It worked before although I hadn't used it in awhile.

When I boot I get a message drag to disk is missing components. I also tried opening East Media Creator to create CD and it says Dragon Engine installation failed.

I've reinstalled (at least 3 times) I've repaired I've modified. I've installed the update70to 71_2.exe and nothing works.

I'm using Windows XP

I can't find any faq or anything that might help.

I asked Roxio in Feb and have never received any help.

Do I have to just throw the software out?

Further on this. I've found nothing works in EMC7.

I tried the solutions suggested in the http link and they didn't help either

1. Do you have IE 7?  If so, many people have fouond that removing it (and going back to IE 6) fixed EMC 7 when nothing else would.

2.  Using Drag2Disc is a great way to permantly LOSE data.  This is true of ALL Packet-Writing programs - Drag2Disc, DirectCD, Nero's InCD, Sonic's DLA, etc.  Using the built-in WinXP burning, which works like drag&drop but is the much more stable sessions format, might be a good alternative.

BTW - if you are using RW media, be advised you do not have a "great-big floppy-disc", what you have is a great way to LOSE the data permanently.  Using Packet-Writing together with RW media will greatly hasten the data loss.  Been there, done that, and nobody could tell me I was wrong.

I was hoping for another solution. I really don't want to go back to IE6 and all its problems. I guess I'll just scrap EM7. Its just a shame to spend that kind of money and have to toss it.

I may try to go back to EM5 which is still working on my husband's computer.

Unfortunately, Internet Explorer 7 'breaks' many programs.   Why Microsoft would release a 'critical update' that breaks most of my purchased software really upsets me.

So I'm not updating to IE 7 because it has it's own security problems and I still want to use the software I purchased.
