I Have No Idea What I Am Doing..

[Chiefs4Life]

I keep going to my roxio and this pops up and I am just lost and I have no idea what I am doing, please help! I dont want this to be a waste of money!

I only clicked on the capture button once but if I double click on it it still does the Cannot Initiate Task thing.

 

Clicking it twice tries to open it twice and you get the "Cannot Initiate Task" in task manager.

 

Now answer the question I asked in the post before. So what didn't work?

 

How much PC experience do you have?

[Chiefs4Life]

Okay but before I do that, for task manager what should I show you, just the applications, or the processes?

I can't do this for you, re-read what I told you to do and do it!

[Chiefs4Life]

The screen shot only shows Roxio Game Capture not 'Cannot Initiate Task' So what didn't work?

[Chiefs4Life]

I only clicked on the capture button once but if I double click on it it still does the Cannot Initiate Task thing.

[cdanteek]

In front of my roxio panel it says loading for like a split second and then the loading thing goes away before I can barely read it, then nothing happens or opens up.

 

Reboot the PC and do it again.

 

If it does the same thing check task manager and post what it shows?

[Chiefs4Life]

Well I dont exactly have the most PC experience, but I will get by, Okay so when I click on the Capture button the loading thing pops up but it never loads fully and never turns on the game capture software so I guess when I turn on the software my trying to click on it twice because I am clicking it so quickly it tries to load twice but It cant because no video capturing software can fun while another capturing software is in use, but I dont get why my roxio isnt working and coming up with the capturing software.

And I have installed it and uninstalled it and reinstalled it again if you didnt know.

Even after you only click it once the "capture" window does not pop up? Are all your cords connected properly?

 

When you get Roxio open, go to task manager, then right click Roxio, clock "Go to processes", then right click and choose "End Process Tree" if there are any hidden applications linked to Roxio they should all be terminated. Also this is slightly "canned" but run as administrator and make sure Roxio is allowed in your firewalls.

 

That is pretty much the ONLY solution I can think of for your problem. It thinks you have multiple apps running, so if you only click it once just be patient and let it load, mine can take quite some time "15-20 seconds" to load if my laptop isn't quite fired up and running smooth.

 

If your problem persists, who you gonna call? Roxio support that's who.... I ain't afraid of no posts.

You could try this, download Revo Uninstall http://download.cnet...4-10687648.html

 

and use it in the Moderate mode to get rid of all Roxio folders, etc. Reboot, install the software again

[Chiefs4Life]

Okay I am not at the house with my roxio right now I will get back to this thanks for the help guys!

[Android1192]

I had the same problem, a quick computer restart fixed it. If that doesn't work and you have re-installed the software then you are probably screwed.

 

Edit: You should remove the software, RESTART, re-install.

 

If that doesn't fix it then..........you're probably screwed.

Thanks the running as administrator worked fine!

[Chiefs4Life]

Okay now that I have all of that done now i have another problem! I am sorry but here is a picture, I just hooked up everything and clicked on it once and it worked fine and now it cant pick up the roxio i guess, please help!

[cdanteek]

Right click 'Cannot Initate Task' then click End Task.

 

Now try it?

[Chiefs4Life]

If anyone could help this keeps happening when I try to capture on my Xbox 360, please help I need some hope so this isn't just a waste of money!

[ogdens]

Maybe if you gave us some more information we could provide some help?

 

Details.....Details please.

 

Read some of the other post's in this forum, so that you get the general idea of what we need (just a suggestion), we are just users like you on here.

Well when I turn on my roxio it works good and I click on the "Capture" button and this happens, It worked great at first and I recorded like 4 videos of RockSmith and now I want to do some Zombies gameplay.

And I got through the error once but another error popped up and said that they couldnt find any video output or something towards that.

[ogdens]

When this happens open task manager, find the process and end it, see if that clears it.

 

Do you have any other Roxio software installed?.

[Chiefs4Life]

Well Here is a picture of my task manager only roxio is being used?

 

 

 

And I reinstalled the gamecap software if that would make a difference.

[cdanteek]

Right click 'Cannot Initate Task' then click 'Go To Process'.

 

Tell us or show us ( screen cap ) what process it shows highlighted?
