I did not think I would ever want to come back to this site after the headache I have had installing Roxio Creator 2009. But, I thought I would share my success with some of you who are experiencing the same frustrations I was. I bought a Roxio Creator 2009 Special Edition with hardware from Sam's Club this week. Let me just say that I have had many different error situations described in this forum - like at first it looked like it installed successfully, but then could find no files and no icon on the desktop. Then, another time I got the 000D error, then another time I got the "interrupted and can't be completed" error, then my computer wouldn't even acknowledge that a disk was inserted... See? I tried a LOT of things, but this is more or less what I think ended up working. There are some "Clean Install Instructions for Creator 2009 for Vista" floating around on this forum - find them and print them. You may not have to follow every step though - I didn't. It tells you to disable all of your startup programs - I did not have to do this, but I did manually disable all of my virus protection - I have Bit defender and Windows does some too. So I went into these and turned them off (turn them back on when you're done). Then, it tells you to uninstall Roxio Creator 2009 - I didn't do this because I never got it on my computer. Then it tells you to download a clean up utility - I skipped this also. I did do the next steps. Because I had a Basic version of Roxio loaded that came with Vista, apparently this was interfering. I had to uninstall each of the components (about 5-6?) Don't worry about losing them for good - Vista will allow you to reinstall them any time if you want (go to help and type in "reinstall"). Then, I did the registry stuff - exported and saved it, then deleted any roxio files that I found. (Couldn't find the wow6432node folder though). Then, restarted and it loaded. It took a while since it is 2 gigs, but it installed fine and works - can't say how well yet b/c I haven't had a chance to work with it much. This will be clearer once you've read over the Clean Install Instructions. That's all! I wish you much luck and success with yours!
