DeltaMike Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Haaaalp! I unplugged my computer and when I plugged it back in I keep getting Windows Installer trying to install Roxio Media Manager. It won't cancel and it's taking all of my free CPU. It's asking for a CD with an msi file, but I can't find any CD that has that on it. Any suggestions as to how I can kill the WI or download the Roxio Media Manager.msi file would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaMike Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 What happens when you Ctrl/Alt/Delete and task manager appears? It just shows the Roxio Media manager as Running--that's referring to the install. Shows about 50% of the CPU being used by msiexec.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gebi1 Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 How do I do that? I am running XP Pro SP2. I'm running the German version, so I'll try to translate. May be it sounds a bit funny. Under "Start" ; "All Programs"(alle Programme); "Tools"(Zubehör); "Systemprogramms"(Systemprogramme); "System recovery or restore" (Systemwiederherstellung) you will find two options (may be 3, if these function was used before) where you should select the first. There you can select a date and/or a time of an entry you know it works o.k. for you. Than follow the given instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
