I realized a week or so ago that Sonic Digital Media LE came on my Dell XPS Computer. It includes MyDVD LE and RecordNow Audio/Copy/Data.

I installed EMC 8 without doing anything with the LE stuff. (Thinking back DLA had to be removed during the install of ENC 8 - maybe DLA is part of LE.)

I cannot get EMC 8 Media Import to run. Should I have removed LE from my computer before installing EMC 8? Could this be the problem?

Does anyone suggest I remove LE from my computer at this point in time? Are there known issues having both on there at the same time?

My opinion is that having both installed is overkill. I've always removed the Dell brand stuff from my Dells in place of the full version of EMC. I can't say with certainty that's causing your problem. Remove the rest of the Dell stuff, reboot, run a repair EMC install, reboot and see where that takes you

I agree w/ Paul. Remove the Sonic Digital LE, before installing EMC8

As I said, EMC8 is already installed. I was wonderning if this could be the reason Media Import does not run.

I will be removing the LE version and then doing a repair on EMC 8 as suggested by Paul above. I'll post back on what happens.

Thanks.

You might have to totaly remove both programs and then Reinstall Roxio 8
