EMC9 crashes out DreamScene

[tonym]

I have installed EMC9 on to Vista Ultimate and found that when you do this the result is that DreamScene gets killed from repeating it's video.

 

basically, I think this is to do with the drag to disk program.

 

THERE IS NO OPTION TO INSTALL WITHOUT drag to disk - so guess what - yep, if you have a copy of Vista Ultimate (and everyone here in the UK knows it's twice the price of the USA - a hefty $US700.00 ) then you can't use EMC9 and dreamScene.

 

I guess there are other problems lurking under the surface....

 

It took me 3 days of very concerted effort to prove that the culprit was EMC9. Even if you uninstall the drag to disk - then dreamScene still does not work.

 

Even if you roll back - DreamScene will not work. Yep, its a FORMAT and reinstall to prove that EMC9 was at fault here.

 

But best of all, our buddies at Roxio - didn't even allow an option for drag to disk (its crap anyway) NOT to be installed....

 

I suppose no one has an answer for this either :-(

You could type in DreamScene in the search box, and see for yourself.

Hmmm you're right there is a known issue....

 

but I just wonder when I have to stop messing around with file formats to fix someone else's problems.

 

Of course, I wonder what else has stopped working???

I don't know what else Vista breaks. I don't have it on my computers.

Hi tonym,

 

See this post: http://forums.support.roxio.com/index.php?showtopic=18930 for a workaround. I agree that Roxio/Sonic should fix this problem. But, in the interim, for a few minutes of time, this will give you your Dreamscene back.

 

BR,
