briank Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Local C: drive installation of EMC on a network-attached workstation. If that's not supported, that's going to eliminate a lot of customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 None of the Roxio suites as far back as ECD3 ever worked on a network - they just aren't designed for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briank Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 It worked just fine on my previous desktop machine. It even took the files to burn off the network with no trouble whatsoever. These days, almost everybody is on some kind of network (at least dial-up if not broadband). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_hardin Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Try disabling Drag to Disc using msconfig – it is in the Startup tab. Reboot after disabling it and see if the problem is still there. While the program will not run across a network, you should be able to access files on the network without any problems.

briank Posted May 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Since I had previously uninstalled EMC, I did a custom re-install without drag-to-disc. I also disabled all the Roxio services (RoxWatch, RoxWatchTray, Roxio Media DB, etc). Renaming a network file in Windows Explorer still crashed the machine. After re-uninstalling, I could rename files again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After re-uninstalling, I could rename files again. There was a network version of Norton AV that caused that to happen. But it was some time ago and was fixed by them after Roxio got on them. None of use have had this happen so I cannot really offer anything else. You could try contacting Roxio but I don't know how well support will be for a product that has been out of production as long as V8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Cobra Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I and others at Alcoa have the same problem. IT says it was somthing from MS that is loaded on all of our networked machines. IT's solution was to unistall Roxio and install some IBM product. I wish Roxio would get on here and answer the question. They just lost 5 future upgrades.

briank Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Have you tried importing the file to your local workstation and renaming it, before opening Roxio to work with the file ... ? Lynn The issue was not so much with getting Roxio to process the files... it was that some Roxio component was fubar'ing Windows file sharing (SMB/CIFS). If you tried to rename an MS Word document, for example, on a server (just using "rename" in plain old Windows Explorer), the local workstation would crash. It had to be one of the auto-started components, a changed registry setting, or something, because no manually-launched components were running at the time. I limped by on some freeware for a while so I don't know about EMC 9, but the good news is that EMC 10 fortunately does not have the problem. - Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
