After several atempts to have Easy Media Creator 8 to work as it should in my HP Media Center PC Pavilion a1210n AMD 64 with windows XP professional operating system in it, I had enough of this non-sense and I WANT MY MONEY BACK 100% $99.00 U.S dollars + tax that I paid for in Circuit City o$6.50 sales tax on 03/16/2006. My ticket number is 167065
PROBLEM:
As soon as I connect to the Internet via Earthlink Internet service provider WINDOWS INSTALLER interrupts, and pops up upon my computer screen with an unending loop; even after clicking on cancel several times, it will not go away. The only way to terminate the annoying program is with CTRL-ALT -DEL (Windows Task Manager) I even block several services with Zone Alam Pro firewal with no positive results.
I patiently unistalled this program at least 12 times TO NO AVAIL, by following the e-mailed instructions by Sonic Tech. support. and other suggestions made by the customers in the Roxio Community message board.
