I have a Samsung DVD Rom which I have put into my new PC from my old one. It's only about 3 years old and worked fine in my old PC. Vista found the driver necessary and installed it. Worked fine. Last night I tried to use Roxio to copy a cd which ended up with Roxio crashing. I had to reboot. Once rebooted, Vista told me it was installing a device driver for a Semwung DVD-ROM$SD-616E$ATA device. This has left me scratching my head as to why my Samsung is now a Semwung! Any ideas? Also, I have noticed over the last couple of days that someone/thing keeps changing my homepage. I've run Spybot and my antivirus scanner and had 5 tracking cookies and have got rid of them. Is there any way I can find out what keeps changing my homepage? Once whatever it is tries to change my homepage and I try to use Explorer to surf the web, I get directed to a Norton page telling me something's tried to change my homepage but won't tell me what or what to. I don't think my current problems are connected in any way
I have tried everything but can not get Roxio Creator 10 to upgrade my Dell Desktop from verison 9 ...After 3 hours of trying everything ... I am at a lost ...
I have Roxio Creator 9 (which works fine on my desktop XP machine) on my Vista Sp1 laptop and cannot use Cineplayer. After the flash screen shows for several seconds I get "Cineplayer has stopped working" and a second message asking to close the program. I did a clean install (twice) and all other Creator applications work as expected.
I have used Roxio Creator 9 and MyDVD 9.0 DE for a while, until I reinstalled my OS. Now I get the following error message: [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Rahul/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png[/IMG]"All your drives are set to disabled. On this operating system, in order to start Roxio Creator DE you must either physically remove your drive(s) or enable at least one drive." I want to stick with Roxio, and I don't want to pay for anything.

On my old XP machine I could go into the "sound" option, select recording options and check the "stereo mix" box, then play a song in Windows Media Player and record in Roxio or another sound recording application. This was a useful way to convert song files from one format to another (for example, from wmf to mp3, or from some proprietary iTunes or Rhapsody format to mp3). This option isn't available on my new Gateway running Windows Vista. The new sound menu has "Recording options" and "Playback options". Under "Recording options" it only has Microphone, Aux and Line In. None of these work for recording from the computer. Is this a limitation of my machine, or of Vista? Is there a way around this problem? How do I record from the sound card in Vista?
I have a Compaq Presario desk top computer, and my wife has basically the same computer as mine (also a Compaq Presario), but in lap top form. Hers is about a year newer than mine. My computer came with 1GB or RAM, and I installed another 1.5GB about a year ago (by replacing one of the two 512mb memory cards with a 2gb card), and now I have a total of 2.5GB of RAM. My computer model, according to Compaq, is expandable up to 4GB.
In the last month or so, I've got into using DVD ripping programs to abstract video from discs and into my computer. Using Roxio at first, a 25 minute television show was taking about three hours to complete, with a video file of only 578MB being produced. On this particular program, there is no settings to produce a smaller or larger file. I have to say that the DVD rips were coming out just as good as the DVD version when I played back the "wmv" file in my computer, so I was very pleased with that, at least.....
It appears that Roxio BackupMyPC files cannot work in Vista. Fine, so why do Roxio want the customer to purchase another version inorder to access previous software files? Are there any alternatives to open these files in Vista?:
i recently installed roxio creator pro and was having trouble burning cds so i uninstalled still didnt work and i reinstalled and uninstalled again now it doesnt reckognize any discs cd or dvd it just kicks them out and says please put in disc. everything was working fine til i tried the roxio did i lose the drivers or what and the unit is fine.
After I installed SP1 today, all third party burning software will not recognize my DVD drive as a burning drive. I can only burn from the embedded windows burning software.
Something happened on my PC and suddenly my Pictures Folder had changed. All my pictures got a blue square with two white chevrons in left corner. I suspected that Roxio 10 took over my pictures marking them in this peculiar way. It was not. Uninstalling Roxio didn't in getting rid of the horrible "mark".
I'm putting together my new system which will be running Vx64 OS. I own both Nero 9 full and Roxio's Creator 20009 Ultimate and trying to make a decision. As far as I can tell both offer about the same burning / editing options and seems kind of silly to install both if I really only need one or the other.
Nero 9: Pros- • Have been using it for some time and am used to its settings • Have bought all the plug-ins for it............
I have not been able to get my Roxio Easy Media Creator to work. When I click on any of the icons, it says that the 'certificate is invalid or corrupted' and wants me to reinstall it. Is there some way of repairing this short of a complete reinstall? I have the Roxio disk supplied by Dell and I was hoping to get away with not having to completely reinstall the program. I have no luck with that stuff.
when ever i try to burn data to a disc.i get this roxio creator 2009 special edition a suitable drive was not detected please attach a drive and try again. in my device manager dvd/cd rom drives this device is working properly.does anyone know of a fixes to this? i have windows vista home premium 32bit with sp1
I've had my computer for about two months now. It came with Windows Vista. I installed Norton antivirus on it right away. For the past month it's been crashing almost every other day.
I have no idea what is going on. I asked a Dell tech and they said to run startup repair, but I'm still having problems.
just put together this computer and it ran good for the first few days, now it's to the point where it won't even boot up. It first crashed on me when loading up a game, then it crashed during the middle of updating. It crashes in start up sometimes and it freezes when I'm trying to run the memory diagnostics tool. The blue screen keeps giving me this message "Driver irql not less or equal" and I have no idea what's wrong, can anyone help? Sorry if this is kinda blunt I'm typing this on my phone bc now i don't have a computer to work from.
I just don't get why "YOU" have to find resolutions to Microsoft's problems its very upsetting. Its out of the box about 5 days.

I have neverwinter nights loaded on my pc with both expansion packs.
it also has a hard update (i.e. manually downloaded .exe file) as teh self updater wouldn't find it, but now it keeps crashing on loadup where it shows developer logos.
I just updated my windows Vista and when I then tried starting my computer afterwards it went into repair-mode. I tried to repair the flaws, but apparently it couldn't fix it all. It still goes directly to an entirely black screen with only my cursor marker on it, when I was supposed to write my password. I've already tried to start it in every safe-mode available? I installed it yesterday (15/11), as soon as i could.
My Vista works fine in safe mode. I uninstalled almost every program I ever installed, I wrote down all of the processes that were running in safe mode and then rebooted and killed each process one by one, replicating the crash inciting event...opening any folder, after killing each process until I was down to the processes that were running in safe mode...and the ones that kept restarting themselves and I can't get the problem fixed.
I am using an HP Pavilion dv9000 running the pre-installed Vista Home Premium. The HP rebuild disk boots up into a repair screen, says it is repairing and if it works it will restart normally, which it does but I still have the same problem. I have run every anti virus/anti virus I could get my hands on (none of which seem to be getting rid of this Virtumonde piece of %*&, which is the least of my worries at this point unless it is causing the crashes).
I am about ready to take my laptop to the shooting range with me or upgrade to Windows XP because I have honestly not seen a single value added by Vista. If anyone has any ideas I would gratefully listen. If not, I think I am shooting this hard drive (really) and restarting with XP or some flavor of **ix and running XP in VMware.
I bought my pc about a year and half ago. Had an x86 Vista Ultimate edition on it and it all worked fine. 4 GB RAM and a good CPU made it run smooth. I then decided to upgrade my RAM to 8 GB and also upgraded my Windows with it to an x64 Vista Ultimate. Ever since I upgraded, my pc has been crashing like mad. When I play games my pc crashes constantly in a timeframe ranging from 20mins to 2 hours.
I freezes completely and it ends up in me having to force hard reset my pc. I don't know what the problem is atm and in all fairness it's driving me mad. Sometimes I boot my pc, I check mails and whoops, frozen and have to reboot. Is it possible that there's a compatibility problem with the RAM and my x64 Vista?
i get on websites (example: facebook, Internet) sometimes my computer will crash (bluescreen of death). i have ran super deep scan for viruses on my computer with bitdifender internet security 2009 and has not found any viruses. i am also sure it is not my registry. windows says the problem is related to my ethernet, i don't know how. anyways, i gathered all my system information that i could.............
ok i have too many of these. After i installed Vista SP2, i keep getting explorer crashes. It's sporadic. I open my computer, boom, it hangs and then i need to hit reset. It's happening alot.
there everything has been fine until the last 2 days but now if i click and drag somethng to recycle bin i just get a box come up saying deleting and then the box just sits there if i click cancel or close it just says cancelling and then i have to end the task through task manager.
Whenever I attempt to sign onto AOL through their software, the entire system crashes. Spyware and Antivirus scans came back negative. I tried using different versions of the AOL software but the crashing still occurred. I did a restore back to a time before the crashes started, did not work. Updated all my drivers, still no success. Everything else works just fine. I can connect to the Internet, surf with IE, download files, no problem.
I finally deleted my broadband connection, deleted the network/lan card using device manager. Restarted the computer, Vista recognizes the Lan card and automatically installs the drivers. I created a brand new connection in the Network center and tried to sign onto AOL; it finally works! Here's the kicker, though. I restart the computer just to make sure everything works and guess what? When I try to sign onto AOL, the computer crashes!
I did not make one single change between the time I successfully logged onto AOL till the time I restarted and it began crashing again. It certainly appears to be something wrong on the networking end of things, I just don't know what. It looks like the AOL software is accessing some network file/setting that then sets off the crash. Is it the card itself, the drivers, some Vista update that didn't install correctly. I am at my wits end. Short of a restore back to the factory install point, I don't know what to do.
I have Vista Ultimate 64bit. I have all the updates including SP1 downloaded from Microsoft site. Up until yesterday everything has been working fine for the past month since I built a new system. Now all of a sudden my computer is crashing on me. No BSOD. Just shuts down and reboots. Last night this occured 5 times in the space of 4 hours..
Looking in my events log all I can see occuring at the times of the crashes is this information: Code integrity determined that the image hash of a file is not valid. The file could be corrupt due to unauthorized modification or the invalid hash could indicate a potential disk device error.
I don't use windows firewall as I use the firewall built into Trend Micro Internet Security 2008. Checking though that programs logs shows nothing happening at the time of the crashes. After googling this and looking on Microsoft's site I am stumped at what I can do to resolve this. I do have windows updates on automatic and I recall an update occuring 2 days ago.
It was a nice day (September 2007) and i opened my Windows Vista 32bit Home Premium Laptop, my desktop appeared just fine and while Nod32 was trying to load, my wagtail mouse stopped moving its tail, few seconds later, the "famous" BSOD appeared!
I didnt care really since i could format, ok then i formated. 5 months after the format i was having some crashes, e.g i clicked on Photoshop and the taskbar froze then the same happened to the start button and then the whole desktop! I restarted but i couldn't use Photoshop anymore. Few days later i dragged and dropped something in the recycle bin and guess what? Yea thats right! I got a Blue Screen! I was freaked out and mad! So then i formated again. Now 2 months later, May of 2008 i opened my laptop and Nod warned me that the dll files of Adobe Flash, Nero and PowerDVD were viruses and that the svchost.exe tried to open them. I ignored them since i knew that the svchost.exe goes crazy sometimes. Then it stopped doing it but i started having crashes like the one i said before the second BSOD. Today i received 4 more crashes but the last one was deadly! I mean like, i only clicked on windows live messenger and vista made that BEEP sound, then everything was frozen,even the mouse!
Whenever I'm chatting on IMVU, or doing anything which requires lot of 3D, my screen flickers 2 or 3 times, I see everything freezed, the screen turns black, and then most of the time, after a while, it turns back and gives me a balloon message on the taskbar that the graphics' driver stopped responding and is restored. It happens a lot. And it gives on my nerves a lot, because when the screen returns, all 3D using programs are not responding anymore, untill I try to close it, and tell Windows Vista to wait untill it responds, then it takes about a minute or 2 to see motion again. Sometimes the error doesn't happen at all. Sometimes it happens every 5 minutes. And I even had a blue screen once. The only thing I was able to read was that the graphics' driver stopped responding and Windows was unable to restore it. I tried reinstalling the driver. I own the newest version of the driver, so update is not possible.
