Music Disc Creator - Roxio Emc 9

[leeclose]

I've been working with the Music Disc Creator portion of Roxio EMC 9.0.546 successfully for the past week. Until today. Nothing changed - I didn't reboot or incorporate any Microsoft updates. When I select Music Disc Creator (of which I have saved several projects), it just hangs. That's it.

 

I've uninstalled Roxio/Sonic files, I've fixed the registry, I've done it all (like I have done repeatedly in the past), but nothing's working. I've checked for viruses, cleaned up my registry, cleaned out temp spaces...Keeps saying "Please wait...Loading component" - forever!

 

Dell 8300, XP, Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz, 2.99 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM

 

I'm in the middle of making rehearsal CDs for my community chorus! I've finished the sopranos - but the altos, tenors and basses need help too!

Okay okay okay! Finally a clean install worked. Though I had done about 3 today already, I happened to read one post "Reallllyyy frustrated..." re: a hanging screen. I read that IE7 and WMP11 might be a problem, so I uninstalled them (with alot of complaining from Microsoft's little brain in my PC). Then I did another clean install process - and - tada!! It finally worked...

 

Question: why is EMC so sensitive to MS change? Will I have to go through this ALL the time? <sob>

Glad things worked for you. You shouldn't really be affected with every MS update. But again at times its just expect the unexpected

It happens, but you might want to reboot your computer once in awhile. I know some folks, who claim that they leave their computers on, 24/7. IMHO, that is i-d-i-o-t-i-c.
