Install Converts All Existing Files...

[crazycarin62]

Hi!

 

Can someone please tell me how to install (or correct after install) EMC9 without it transfering/converting all existing files into Roxio? I do not want Roxio as my primary software for editing photo's or making backup or slideshow CD's.

 

I bought this software because I am unable to view a CD of our family geneology that was created on Roxio... It seems Roxio is very propriatory software...

 

After installing EMC9, all exisiting files on my computer (XP) opened with Roxio... and I was not able to create CD's with the programs I already have, use and enjoy. I uninstalled Roxio and had to jump through several hoops to get my system working correctly again....

 

Please help if you can!

 

Thanx much!

However, XP will read nearly all discs written by packet writers…

 

Your read problems are deeper than you think. It would be faster if you supplied all the details you can about those discs.

I presume that you mean all existing .iso files - right click on any iso, select 'open with' pick the app you want to use and then set that as the default

 

Roxio isn't that proprietary - it sounds as if you have a file created under Drag to Disc (packet writing) and ALL packet writing apps are 'proprietary' in that they will only open stuff they created - this includes ALL CD s/w, Vista writing app and so on
