What is RoxWatch9?  It and RoxWatchDB9 are eating up a lot of resources,

That is usually temporary for the first time it runs.  It is part of Media Manager and it is indexing all of your media files (video and audio).  If you feel this is a feature you do not use or want, run Media Manager and under TOOLS, turn it off.

I don't know if my system is weird or what, but simply telling Media to stop watching folders did not stop RoxWatch9 or RoxMediaDB9 from showing up in the Task Manager list of processes.

For me I had to use services.msc (Start/Run, type in services.msc) and change the startup type from Automatic to Manual. Reboot for the setting to take effect.

Now I have "Roxio Hard Drive Watcher 9" and "RoxMediaDB9" set to manual startup and they don't run in the background anymore. I also set "Roxio UPnP Renderer 9" and "Roxio Upnp Server 9" startup types to manual.

I don't know if this will adversely effect EMC9 when I get hot and heavy into video editing/authoring, but so far there appears to be no adverse effect.

Will not affect them in the least.  I don't even have Media Manager installed at all.

Thanks for the tip. Even though I turned Watchlist off, Quick Find would launch each time I started RX9. My disk would crunch away for several minutes and slow my system. Now all is well.

:) I have to laugh at myself  :huh: Not installing Media Manager to begin with is such an obvious solution and I didn't think of it. Well...Duh!

Through Add/Remove Programs.  Click on the Change tab, then on Next, then on Modify.  You can click on the Media Manager icon, and select the X meaning it will not be installed.  In this case, it will be removed.
