Purchased Software Can Not Get It To Run

[MarkZ]

I followed all of the instructions you sent and I still get the same error when I try to start "Roxio Creator has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have now tried to install the software 3 times without success. I've been very patient but your software does not seem to be worth the trouble. Do you have any other suggestions? If you do not I want my money refunded. How can you sell software that does not even install properly. Is their a number I can call to talk to support?
