Have Creator 2009 Se; How Can I Remove Emc 9?

[VRTV]

Hello,

 

I installed a new hard drive on my laptop.

Did a clean install of Vista; old hard drive was a Vista upgrade from XP.

Accidentally installed EMC 9 from disk.

Installed Creator 2009 SE from disk; works great.

 

Problem is when I open any folder that has a video clip I get 3 pop-up windows:

1. Insert the Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 Suite disk and click OK

2. Please wait while Windows configures Sonic CinePlayer Decoder Pack

3. Sonic CinePlayer Decoder Pack cannot be found

 

I don't want to mess with 2009; just get rid of the EMC9 issue.

First I tried add/remove programs EMC9; won't work because missing certificate.

Launched msconfig and

I have gone to services tab and disabled all EMC9 apps; leaving EMC11 alone.

I have gone to startup tab and disabled Roxio & Sonic apps

I have gone to tools tab -> computer management -> services and apps -> services and turned off all references to EMC9.

Restarted laptop twice.

 

I went to control panel-> default programs and I checked for any file associations, program accesses, and autoplay for Roxio or Sonic.

 

Launched regedit but am unsure which files to remove because I don't want to accidentally delete those needed for EMC11.

 

Anyone have any good suggestions to fix?

I could put the disk in when prompted, but I understood CinePlayer is for XP; not compatible with Vista and don't want to create another problem.

As a last resort, is a clean removal of both EMC9 and EMC11 needed?

If so, please post links to the appropriate forums -thanks in advance.

That might be the best option...

 

You can find links in my signature for a clean uninstall reinstall. Pay attention to the version numbers and operating system instructions. You mention " EMC9 and EMC11" there is no EMC 11 you stated Creator 2009 SE!

Thank you for the links; I had followed yours before on other posts and they were very helpful for other issues.

 

Sorry, didn't mean EMC 11; meant all files and folders ending with an 11.

All the files and names are doubled up in the directory and either end with a 9 or 11.

Yes, I have Creator 2009 SE.

 

I was really hoping someone had a list of what was in their registry who only had Creator 2009 SE and not any other versions.

 

Alas, If there is nothing posted in the next few days, I will do a clean install and hope for the best.
