Just loaded up roxio 9 on my windows xp and there is giant blue column on the menu and a bunch of moving yellow lines in background of the movie uploaded. I thought maybe this is a sample software and you have to purchase it again somehow to get the real version that is not distorted. But this is paid for already. It's like watermarks on photography so nobody uses the photos by how messed up they are.
WTF is going on? How do I fix this? I have inspiron E1505. What do I need to upgrade and how do I find it/do it?

Why would you think it was sample software when you had to buy it??
Your problem is almost certainly the graphics in the Dell - Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (the Intel graphics are not really up to the task)
Try switching to software rendering in the tools section and also update the drivers and the DirectX (from Microsoft)

In "tools" section of roxio I see nothing that says software rendering. Will have to look into drivers and microsoft tonight when kids are down.

I believe that Daithi is thinking you are talking about seeing the blue lines in MyDVD. That is where you would change to Software mode by clicking on Tools/Options.
You need to explain a little more about your problem. It sounds like your video card, or drivers, is a problem.
Life is good!

It will have to be the Intel one (that's what you have in your laptop) - but double check anyway
Right click anywhere on the empty desktop, go to properties, advanced, settings, adaptor and it will tell you the make and model that you need.
The Cineplayer patch should also be relevant
