Would anyone know if they have EMC 10 in the works any time soon before I spend the money on EMC 9 certified for Windows Vista? I would gladly wait to spend the money on EMC 10 if they plan on it soon! Thanks....

I don't know when it will come out, but you can bet that EMC 10 will be out within the next few months.

You're welcome, but with the exception of a couple minor bugs, EMC 9 runs fine on my XP computer.

Roxio should be issuing a major EMC 9 update to correct all of the know problems and issues before releasing a new version IMHO.  EMC 10 or whatever version should contain new functionality and corrections for all of the known problems and issues with EMC 9.

You'll get no argument from  me.  I agree.

My new computer came with Windows Vista Ultimate, so I really meant with the problems I am reading about EMC 9 with Vista not sure if I should wait to purchase if an EMC 10 is in works. I can't use the features of EMC 8 with Vista and really miss creating slideshows and editing with Roxio. I really love working with the program, so I guess you could say I am having Roxio "withdrawals" right now.

Waiting for 10 isn't a bad idea.As far as 9 goes as long as you get V9.1 and not 9.0 I think you'll have a reasonable chance of it working.It's like all software,some have problems,others don't.
Personally,I haven't had any problems nor have a couple other of the gurus.Every once in a while we see someone post that also says they're not having troubles.

Of course, the same advise that was offered in the topic on updating to Vista (wait a year or wait for SP1, I forget the exact advise) would be a good ideal for EMC10, that is wait until the update to EMC 10 is released so that bugs are fixed. Whoops, if everyone had followed this advise on EMC 9 there woulld have been no sales of EMC 9.0 since no update has been released even though 9.1 is available IF YOU WANT TO BUY IT, if you want to download the 9.1 update you are SOL. (Pinnacle 11 Ultimate released June 01, 2007 - 1 update, Sony Vegas Movie Studio 8 Platinum released July 01, 2007 - 1 update, Nero 7 Ultra released 4 or 5 months ago - 2 or 3 updates, EMC 9 also released months ago - 0 updates)

GPB: The above is a general comment, no reflection on your comment. Just tired of the "soon" crap regarding the update. Kinda gets tiresome having the same misrepresentation being told over and over again. Honestly, how many people after four or five months of hearing "soon" really believes an update is going to happen? Probably those believing in the "tooth fairy" also.

I didn't take it as a reflection on my comment.  I am also tired of hearing the 9.1 patch will be out soon.

Worked great with my XP too, but DOES NOT WORK with my new PC that came with Vista, that I could not order with XP.

Have you ever thought of getting XP and dual booting it with Vista ??

I dont understand why you would recommend haveing a person spend a lot of money and going through the trouble of rebooting everytime they want to use a program just to make it work. The product clearly states it is visa compatable, and it is clearly not.

This company needs to fix the program... If you are going to recommend any new money spent to fix a problem that should never be, then you should recommend that they should buy a product from a diffrent company.

I think that Frank recommended it, because it is an option that can be used, until the 9.1 appears.  Frank's post was made to try to help, unlike yours.

I suspect the reply was somewhat facetious, with a serious undertone.  

As for recommending spending money on software from a different company, buying XP is exactly that sort of suggestion.  

And yes, I realize I'm wasting bandwidth.  Take this with a grain (or block) of salt.

Well, Roxio 9.1 (at least the install CD I have anyway) probably isn't Vista compatible.  It needs admin rights to run well and the setup doesn't configure Roxio's programs needing admin rights.  You have to go do it yourself.  I hope EMC 10 fixes all Vista issues.

But just for the record, I had more problems with Nero (strangely), that's why I bought EMC 9.1.

From all I've seen posted here, 9.1 is most definitely Vista compatible.  Many here have the new version and it seems, most of the problems have been corrected.

[avatarl]

Well, tell my x64 Ultimate that.  First the Roxio applications that should be on admin rights aren't, so they run like crap unless I manually give them rights.  Then it kept bugging me for CinePack Decoder installation every time I wanted to play a .mpeg file.  Then product activation for mpeg doesn't work, yields invalid key, and the manual activation doesn't work because I get no 25 product key.  Then I'm trying to uninstall, I get an error, unistallation crashes and the second time, a certificate is missing.  Just HOW many clean installs must I do for a commercial program to work?  Are we even serious?  The installation procedure is as broken as it can be.  The worst part of course is that if you haven't bought it directly from Roxio through the online store, your money is wasted. Got to love the "Certified for Vista" badge.  What's the point of calling it compatible when it can't even install properly?  The way I see it, we probably aren't reading the same posts.

I think we all have been reading the same posts - there is one clue in one of yours to the effect that "I had more problems with Nero (strangely)".

To me, if two totally different programs are struggling on your system, the fault lies elsewhere. It's not impossible, you know, for an OS to be flaky and cause programs to malfunction.

Out of curiosity - was your Vista a clean install on a formatted disk or was it an 'upgrade' over a previouis OS?

Nah, clean install, I've heard a number of stuff about upgrading.  Well, the difference however was that Nero was a trial software so I didn't really care much about overcoming problems that I had, I was trying it, I didn't pay for it, which may or may have no been easier to fix, so I didn't really bother much.  This is a paid software however and I've done several painful clean installs and there's no light at the end of the tunnel.  And I'm certainly not formatting Vista because one piece of software doesn't work.

On the other hand, if I sit down and solve Nero's problem and buy that instead, will Roxio give me a refund for its sorry excuse of an installation manager? No, since the policy only covers the online store (and probably only US, too).  So I'll stick with however that software works (if it can) until I get really pissed off, and if problems don't get fixed, I'll just do what every other sane person does, spend my money elsewhere.

Also note that when I said that about Nero, the bulk of problems hadn't appeared yet, it did actually seem it could be working.
