Guest Imageman Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 When I start up my Windows XP PC, Windows installer comes up and says "Preparing to install" . . . . "Easy Media Creator" and I patiently have to click away the continuing attempts to install it. How do I stop this from happening, I don't care about Roxio - Thanks for your help - IM

Guest Ms. L MS MVP Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Re: How to stop XP from trying to install Roxio at startup? Have you recently ran any anti-malware applications right before this problem started? If so which one. I have seen some anti-virus/anti-malware software hit on a false positive and remove a needed Roxio file that will cause that issue. If so my Remove-it software will fix it. You just have to only install it and not run it to fix your issue, provided that is the cause.

BS, it was never an indication of who you were, I never looked at your name in the posts, only the content of the body. I don't look at or see names in messages, they are not shown in my Usenet client. You were stalking me, posting my name in EVERY message you posted to Usenet, and that required me to defend my name. Switch back to butts, I've seen a dozen of your posts and not replied to any of them because you removed all my identity from your messages - and as long as you keep from using my name or a likeness (even backwards) I will not have to post in defense of my name. I've said this for more than 2 years and you ignored it, stalking me with your posts. Try it Chris - post as Butts, but leave my name out of your posts and you won't have any replies from me - unless you make claims like you did in this one. -- - Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum. - Calling an illegal alien an "undocumented worker" is like calling a drug dealer an "unlicensed pharmacist" spam999free@rrohio.com (remove 999 for proper email address)
