That is part of DirectX9...

 

You may have deleted it, in part, through some inadvertant action.

 

Let's try this first!

1. Remove the capture device
   
2. Turn Off and/or disable Anti Virus software and Firewall
   
3. Uninstall your Roxio Software through the Control Panel - Programs and Features
   
4. Reboot
   
5. Install the Roxio Software, making sure you agree to let it check for updates and install everything (except that stupic Google Toolbar )
   

Let's see if that will rebuild your DirectX9, otherwise it will have to be downloaded from MS and installed

I also had the same problem on my Desktop PC (the install worked fine on both of my laptops).

 

The fix is to simply update your DirectX. You don't even need a reboot afterward.

 

Download and reinstall directx from this link here: http://www.microsoft...ails.aspx?id=35

 

It is very important to turn off your anti-virus when updating DirectX. My first installation failed with AVG running. After disabling it - DirectX updated without problem.

It's very important to turn off any program especially anti-virus / firewall when installing / un-installing anything on your PC!

Agreed Although I generally never have a problem with AVG!

AVG on this board is one of the worst at causing problems!

Ahh OK, I'm new here so please forgive my ignorance Must be a Roxio/AVG war I didn't know about!!

Another program on Vista and W-7 I would make sure it's off when installing un-installing is UAC, User Account Control.

 

Keep in mind what anti-virus software does?

 

Monitors programs and .exe running on the PC that might harm it.

 

If it thinks something from a legit program looks suspicious it blocks it and there goes your installation.
