Although I had some initial problems getting it up and running, I've been using EMC7 for sometime and still have it on my PC. Becaue of my initial problems with version 7, I was a bit reluctant to purchase and install EMC8...until yesterday...I bit the bullet and took the plunge. EMC8 gave me the option of leaving 7 on my PC and installing EMC8 as a separate program. Great option!!!!! I successfully installed 8 yesterday evening, but there's more...
In the box containing EMC8 was a disc titled "CONTENT." The instructions read as follows: "Install this CD to access premium content such as professional special effects and transitions, photo content projects, pre-designed labels, and premium menu styles." When I attempted to run the CONTENT disk...my CD-ROM went invisible. I also began to get numerous error messages such as: PRISMSVR.EXE - Ordinal Not Found...The ordinal 968 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll." McAfee went crazy, Window's Explorer wouldn't boot, all the icons on my screen disappeared and I had to power my PC down to shut it off. I managed a cold reboot, but to my horror the problems continued and multiplied. I went to a friend's house and managed to download the 114MB upgrade and tried to install it, but my PC wouldn't recognize any CD that had ROXIO on it. I did a "Safe" boot and transfered the file to the hard drive, rebooted and installed the upgrade from its position on my hard drive. All my problems persisted until I restored my system back to the day before installing EMC8 and attempting to install the CONTENT disk. EMC8 as packaged is a bomb...a nightmare! I finally got my PC back to normal, but I'm reluctant to install EMC8 without some assurances from ROXIO that they have a solution to this problem. Did anyone else experience this sort of thing and does anyone know the solution.
Please don't tell tme that the 114MB upgrade resolves this issue, as I did not solve any of the problems I was having!!! EMC8 doesn't come with any instructions concerning the disabling of Virus software or anything thing else.
NOTE: When signing onto ROXIO's website, my privacy program told me that ROXIO's website was trying to download a spyBUG to my PC to track my activity on the web. AMAZING!
Does "anyone" know how to defuse ROXIO's in the box BOMB?
