Just want to thank the person who posted the uninstall directions and support for their directions. Between these two documents, I was able to get my problems resolved.

Thanks.

[John at Roxio]

Thanks for your post. Its good to hear success stories because most folks don't post after their problem gets resolved (or if they never had one to start with).

Well I see it didn't take you too long to delete my post again. Seems that Roxio doesn't want to hear anything negative. Well for your information, (as I told you I work with Computers for a living) I have figured out what it is that stops that activation and gives you the No Permission error and you never get that activate offline either. I just fixed mine. I was going to post the solution up now, until I saw you are back at your childish actions, deleting my posts again. These forums I thought was for people to try to help other and at times to just vent because the tech support sucks. America is built on the freedom of speech.

But go ahead and delete this one too, I don't really care because I KNOW how to fix mine.

There is nothing wrong with venting, if it doesn't contain profanity like your first post did. I don't know what happened to your second post, but if it is like this one, I see nothing wrong with it.

It is good to hear that you got past the goofy activation problem.

[gi7omy]

Now let's see what would be considered childish

Using four letter words unnecessarily (even with asterisks)
Ranting without actually saying what the problem is
Posting remarks which are irrelevant to threads
Trying to impose your problems on others

Oh - and 'I know what to do but I'm not going to tell you, just because'

Any of that sound familiar?

Yes you are right I should not have used some (there were only a few) choice words all be it they were not exactly spelled out. But I should not get smart alic (is this word ok to use?) replies from their tech support people on the phone when I have spent many hours online with them and on the phone. To spend the time on the phone for tech support (and we've all been there waiting, and waiting) and then just have the tech person tell you that you don't matter because I am only in a small group who have this problem, and no I was not rude to him - that's why I was so angry. He didn't even care to try to help me since I had already done everything he knew and it was above his tech level. And then there was also this nice email I recieved from one of the forum's people.

And Childish? Well I wasn't the one who then sent this smart alic (still ok to use?) email to me after my first post was deleted - and I Quote: (I'll change the dirty words to protect the innocent)

"It looks like someone deleted your a__, and they beat me to it. LOLLOL! Buh bye"

- and who's using profanity now grandpa?

The answer to MY SUCCESS story as John at Roxio likes to hear these - lies within your forums. You just have to spend countless hours searching through them and trying everything since ROXIO's tech support people aren't trained well enough. And the answer actually came from a post by gi7omy. So I must say thanks to you even though I don't care for your earlier post.

BUH BYE!!!

[gi7omy]

Personally I don't really care whether or not you like my post - I ain't employed by Roxio and no-one else here is (unless they have a Roxio icon at their name)

We aren't Tech Support, Customer Support or even the office boy providing coffee and cakes - we're just users

America is built on the freedom of speech.

But what most YOUNGER Americans simply do not understand is that with Freedom comes responsiblity. You can NOT say anything you want, anytime or anywhere. That is not the definition of 'freedom of speech'.

BUH BYE!!!

That was a private message and not posted on the boards for all to see like your first post was.

The definition of 'freedom of speech' is obviously say only what Roxio and the Gurus what to hear.

I got some not so useful PM from the Guru's also. I am currently being sensored, doubtful this message will see the light of day. I spent 20 years defending 'freedom of speech', at age 52, I am pretty sure I know what it is. I did not see the first message, and if it had profanity then shame on you karbo and don't do it again. But lets not have the gangup of the Guru's Please.

'Freedom of speech' does not, and never did, include
abuse
libel
slander
incitement
and a few other things

So please don't start making an issue of 'I can say what I like, where I like, when I like, to whom I like and how I like'

I have not utilized any of the statues you list above, but still met with censorship. Freedom of speech is not the subject of this forum, and I have my American beliefs while your countries interpretation may differ. I will drop the subject, but offer you a site where you can witness mine (US Law accepted concept). Good day to you my friend. http://www.answers.com/topic/freedom-of-speech

Actually I'm old enough to remember the reports on Senator McCarthy's 'UnAmerican Activities' committee where 'free speech' certainly was never a right according to your legislators

Look, I did not mean for this to get so out of hand. I would like to extend my appologies to all parties including and especially to all offended by my first post, although there were some profanity in an abreviated or misspelled way I normally would have known better. I know there is no excuse but I am recovering from 2 back surgeries in 2 weeks and I am fighting extreme pain (anyone who has had major back injuries will understand) and obviously I am on a lot of meds, which make me fight a lot of different mood swings. I have been fighting this since last August, but again I claim no excuses and accept my resposibilities. I am especially grateful to all those who have and are giving their all to allow us to have the freedoms we have and enjoy. I know the military well and have lost my father to the vietnam war (I also have 3 friends serving in Iraq right now). I am and always will be proud to say that I am an American and proudly fly our flag - especially on those most important dates such as our upcoming Independance day (although I fly it almost every day).

Back to the point though - seriously, I would like to put and end to this as I was the one who started it.

I APPOLOGIZE TO ALL OF YOU, for the misuse of our freedom of speech and/or offending you with my poor choice of words and also of course to Roxio. I hope that now we can just put this to rest. Thanks.
