Hello
I purchased the upgrade full version of Creator 2010 PRO and installed this successfully - ran a few music CD tests and it runs quite well.  Have not tried video so far, but the individual modules open up without any problems hence I believe the install is OK.

I have Creator 2009 on my PC already - and I find that this also runs as well, in parallel with 2010.  

Question: Do I really need to have Creator 2009 anymore?  I do not think so - and hence the next question:  Can I Uninstall Creator 2009 now without disturbing the 2010 PRO installation?  By going through the Windows uninstall option for 2009, I trust I will not screw things up!

Thanks for any comments.

The only thing I don’t like is that in 2010 MyDVD, it is incapable of producing a DVD Movie with data on it… Something 2009 did quite well –

For that reason I will retain 2009.

Otherwise you may remove 2009 whenever you like, the normal uninstall will not drag 2010 with it  biggrin.gif

I did the uninstall of Roxio 2009 before install of Roxio 2010 route. I think you can uninstall.

Uninstalling 2009 after installing 2010 should be OK.

Be careful not to use the instructions for a clean uninstall from the Roxio knowledge base.

If you follow those you will end up deleting folders that will cause 2010 (or any other Roxio program) to not work.
Use Add/Remove from the Control Panel.
