Roxio 2012 Installation/loading Problem


sorens3

Question

Dear all,

I have now spent a month wiht Roxio Support trying so many things to get my installed Roxio 2012 to load, that I guess Roxio Support now is tired of me?

What happens is when I click on the Roxio app to start (se below in the support log for the many ways I tried to start the application) the only thing happes is the Roxio logo appears in the center of the screen for few seconds and then disapers. May I kindly ask you only to respond if you have a really good advise that I haven't tried yet, as I have tried so many things by now except reformat/reinstall the PC as you can read below in the support log history. No need to answer like" mee to" or " I also have the same issue".

Thanks in advance

My PC:HP M8031.sc-a ,IN tel 2CPU 6600 2.4GHZ, 4GB Ram, Windows Vista. 32-bit

I purchased the software online and the installation itself went OK.I already had Roxio 2010 which I uninstalled following the instructions given by Roxio Support

 

Below is the Roxio Support log with all details. Please notice the recent response is in the top and the oldest in the bottom.

History:

Date:04/26/2012

As per your recommendation I have tried the following:

1. Open Run window.

2. Enter the command below and hit on enter.

3. C:\Program Files\Roxio 2012\Roxio Central

4. Right click on "Roxio CentralFX" and choose Run as administrator to launch the

software.

After I tried the aboe, the same thing happend: The Roxio2012 logo appeared in few

seconds in the middle of the screen and then nothing else.

Some of my frieds are telling me that all the suggestions provided by Roxio Support

seems to be 'Front Desk Support Suggestions', and they think Roxio Support should

escalate to a more Technical level/ Software Application level. Would that be an idea,

since for about a month now I have been trying all your suggestions and still the

application will not start?. Do you have an Application Engineer who knows what it takes

to get the application started and which files needs to run, or if you have a monitor

program or something else which can run to capture exactly what happens or rather what

does not happen since Roxio 2012 does not start?

Dear Support Thank you for your support.

1) I only have one PC

2) I am worried that this has several weeks without a solution. I remember when I bought

the Roxio 2010, I had same issues and I had to completely reformat and reinstall my PC.

I an disappointed that with the 2012 version I have to go through all this again, actually

that was the reason I didn't want to purchase the 2011 version.

3) I have installed more applications very easily in this same time frame without any

problems ( Navigation systems, photo and video editing software etc)

4) It will not make sense to give you screen copies, since what you'll see is that I click on

Roxio 2012 by clicking on the icon, or right click and run as administrator, and I also

tried START, application and click on Roxio 2012. The only thing happened was a Roxio

2012 logo appeared in few seconds in the middle of the screen and then nothing else >>

This is what I wrote to you already, and I kindly ask you to convince me how you can get

to a solution that will solve the problem looking at those screen shots.

5) I have been in Roxio Forums where I see I have not been the only one with this issue,

and I trust you have a database, in where you can see how other users with same

problem were solved and offer me the same solution. I cannot completely

reformat/reinstall my PC only when I buy your products.

6) I have seen in other software suppliers Forums if a User has problems, that the

Software Support team is asking for specific files which makes it possible to examine for

potential errors.

Please advise

Agent Response:

Soren,I suggest you please follow the steps given below then try to open the Roxio Creator 2012 and please do let us know the status of your issue:

1. Disc Cleanup:

Go to Start/Windows Logo --> All programs --> Accessories --> System tools --> Disc Cleanup

2. De-fragment your hard drive. This will allow larger files that you have created to be more easily read by the program and allow more efficient writing of data for video and audio capture to your hard drive.

To do this:

* Go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk De-fragmenter.

In the Disk De-fragmenter window, select the drive (a.k.a. volume) you wish to de-fragment.

* Note the Free Space column. If you have less than 10% free space available you may run into issues de-fragmenting. Additionally, the drive is too full to capture any new media to it. Doing so may result in the hard drive crashing and data loss. Unless more free space can be safely made, it is recommended that you purchase an additional hard drive just for your multi-media projects.

* Click the De-fragment button.

NOTE: If frequently using your computer for recording and editing audio and video, de-fragmenting your hard drive on regular basis (about once a month) is recommended.

3. Remove temporary files:

* Click on 'Windows Logo'

* In 'Search programs and files' type "%temp%" without codes and click on the temp folder.

* Delete all the files and folders in the temp folders.

4. Install Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 3:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=e35f3dd3-1bb7-4c74-aed2-49dbae77546b&displaylang=en

5. Disable the Anti-virus program.

6. Disable start-up items.

Windows 7 and Vista:

- Go to Start and type "msconfig" (without quotes) into the Start Search field and press the "Enter" key.

- Select the Startup tab.

- Click the Disable All button.

- Click the Apply button, then click the OK button.

- Click the Restart button.

If the issue still persists, we will escalate your issue to our next level of support.

Hi Du Tran, THX for response. I am honestly a Rookie. I found the place on Microsoft webpage to download the .NET 3.5 SP1. I am not sure how to remove the current on my PC. and could you explain how this would help?

Hi Du Tran / Sonic Boom. I found the SLT.zip file / Security Library Trace app in another Error problem that you contributes with a solution to named "Roxio Creator 2012 Shortcut Home Application does not work". So I downloaded, unzipped and ran SLT, and then I clicked on Start/programs/Roxio 2012 and the logo was visible few seconds in the center of the screen and then vanished, I also clicked on the desktop ikon Roxio 2012 with same result. Strange, but nothing was reported in the SLT log?

I am sorry but I am not an expert here. Some of these things may seem obvious for someone however unfortunately not for me. I hope you can help.

HI Dutran. Are you sure of the link to that web page? It looks like a Danish search page for just about everything. See the attachment for the screencopy of the website.

Dutran's link downloads a file, there is no link to a Danish website. If you are getting such a link then there is something wrong with your system.

 

BTW, why don't you simply "attach" the screenshot instead of fooling around with pdf files?

THX for valid input. Attached is the Roxio Log Files zipped. I hope that you can use in your examination of the reason why Roxio 2012 won't start up on the PC. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry for the space I used showing the Roxio Support log file. I gues I should zip that nect time first and then upload it.

Soren

 

 

Follow this link showing how to attach a .jpg image, attaching the zip is the same procedure.

Looks like a comedy of errors to me and it looks like installation problems have carried over from 2011. It is so frustrating when you get into long dialogues with Roxio support because they just don't seem to have a handle on the problems us ORDINARY users encounter. I had the same problem with roxio support although I have to say in creator 2011, when I also got into a long dialogue with support went on for ages and didn't even solve the problems. The solution came right from this board so the time spent with support was just a waste of time. Your solution with this problem I have no doubt will come from here. Hopefully Corel will sort this all out in time.
