aauummm Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 This may sound stupid, but what do you mean by "unregistering it by typing this at the command line"? What "command line" are you talking about? Do you mean do this in DOS mode at a command line? I have a Dell 4600i with an ATI Radeon X850 Pro card. I recently had a power supply failure which then messed up the hard drive. I replaced the power supply and then recovered the hard drive. I then created a new boot drive by copying the old drive over to a new drive using MaxBlast. Ever since doing that I have had trouble with windows installer error messages. I think I got those cleared up but now I get the DAO.msi error message. I think your fix will work, but I want to make sure that I do it exactly as you state. Thanks!

meadowman Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Thanks to Frank Colella for addressing this fix. I have had a real problem installing EMC 9 - and had this DAO problem with Ver, 7.5 (never fixed) Tried installing EMC 9 - and startup locked up - used system restore to get back to 'before installing EMC 9' - re-installed EMC 7.5 with DAO problem - using RADEON X700 video card - applied Frank's fix - Voila - 7.5 working (Initialize) OK. I'll now attempt the EMC 9 install and report back. THANKS again Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sknis Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Funny, I have the ATI Radeon 9800 and had no problem in the installation process. I had no problem when I had my ATI Radeon 9700 card, either. It looks like it is something else on your computer causing the problem, not the Roxio software. Or a combination of programs. I had no problems with my old card with two different ATI cards. It is almost impossible to diagnose a conflict like this except for some anti virus programs that always seem to cause problems.

I ran the above and it fixed it. Of course, it may not entirely be ATI's fault, but more than likely, they are part of the problem. Could be a combination of Catalyst and something else.

mlloyd0902 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 i guess i had two problems (i was hoping they were related): 1. the dao error 2. ati multimedia center applications opening "at random" ( at least i can't see the correlation) first i did the dao removal - that seemed to take care of 1 upgraded to outlook 2003 (from 2000) and dao error came back tried the reregistration fix mentioned here and that seemed to take care of 1 also. however, still having problem 2 any ideas? i'm running xp pro w/sp2, ATI AIW 9600, ATI MMC 9.15. thanks, michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjmichaelson Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Wow, it acutally worked! ATI X1800XL AIW Catalyst 6.3 MediaCenter 9.13 This "DAO" issue has been a problem for me ever since I upgraded to EMC 7. At that time I had another ATI product installed, either a TV Wonder USB or a video card, I can't recall which. I remember searching on the problem, and I believe the solution from Roxio had something to do with reinstalling Microsoft Office, for some reason...apparently installing Office was supposed to solve the issue. Please excuse my poor recall of and lack of technical expertise in this issue. All I know is that upon even rebooting my computer, I would get this error message previously posted about DAO - the computer would ask for the location of the file for a couple of seconds, then would reverse itself spontanously when the entire process would start again, over and over. Sometimes I would get a dozen or so windows on the screen telling me that DAO could not be found. I don't even recall how I resolved the issue because this happened way back when version 7 was released. I found that one can download and install this DAO/MDAC or whatever the heck it is from either ATI or from the Microsoft knowledge base, and I thought that this would solve the problem, but it does not solve it consistently, and now that I have upgraded to version 8 (boxed product), I am again seeing the same problem. I currently have an ATI 9800 video card as well as an ATI USB TV Tuner installed on my computer. To date the best solution I have had is to do multiple installs of Windows using Acronis operating system selector and to install Easy Media Creator on an install that does not have the ATI-supplied programs (the USB TV tuner can be ignored, and XP SP2 has excellent support for the video card so that one does not need to install the software supplied by ATI). In other words, I decided that ATI software and Easy Media Creator could not coexist on the same Windows install. I am eager to get home and try the solutions offered in these forums, but I am disappointed that this DAO issue has not been resolved over a period of at least several years....I would have thought that the involved companies would have posted an easy-to-find, easy-to-use program or software patch to correct this issue by now.

rick_kipping@yahoo.com Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I've had Roxio installed for quite sometime with XP-SP2 using an ATI 9600 AIW. Never had a problem. Until 3 days ago. I replaced my Boot drive. I started having all kinds of difficulty booting. Strange errors. Finally, I re-installed XP using the upgrade method. At start-up, Windows Installer keeps poping up. Then it would ask me to insert my DAO disk. This would go on for 10 to 15 minutes. I found this thread, ran the two lines of code, and Viola! Everything works great. Thanks for the tip.
