Guest nesredep egrob Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Sorry about the prior post - please ignore A moment of madness or was it just the onset of something worse made me look at errorsmart which promised to speed up my computer something drastic - yes it showed that there was more than 1000 errors which could be corrected if I paid the dues - Well I did and promptly my favourite video editor was not available and I could not reinstall it. The makers of the editor and I went into a lenghty email session with no end result. Other things on my computer bothered me. Help came in the way of a 10GB image of the OS partition dated before the purchase of the magic program mentioned above. Hi presto - trouble cured. I installed the update of the editor and all was thought to be well - however Roxio 7.0 seemed to have been damaged. Not to worry, reinstalled and 'hp'; my beautiful 700 GB SATA raid array was missing as was also the CD's. Even the Disk Manager showed no signs of anything else but my 2x 200 GB disks. Saved the registry and looked for any instance of errorsmart. Also uninstalled Roxio and did a similar deed to that in the registry. I also cleaned out any occurence of Roxio in my folders and partitions. That cleared up the trouble only to recur on a subsequent installation of Roxio, this time the CD' were missing but the raid array had reappeared. Finally installed W2K from disk, that would have cleared any trouble in registry, hitched the Image to that which worked fine. Updated bits in Document and Settings from a newer Image and back to normal, I thought. Installed Roxio and again I had lost the CD's. I have roxio 10 but it will not work on W2K - so what might you do. Buy and install XP Pro (remember Roxio 7 did work on this computer) or do you have some powerful magic to help me, please.

Once it had done its work, I could not use my Desktop magic video editor. I obtained an update and could not install neither 3.3 nor 4.4. The message was something like not being able to write something to the register. I could not figure out what was wrong but after a night sleep I came up with the idea of installing an Acronis Image that I had before the errorsmart was put to use. That cured that trouble and I managed to install the editor which was on a CD. The image was on a external drive so also that installed nicely. However I soon discovered that the Raid array and the CD drives were neither in the explorer not in the disk manager. I looked on the internet and found other people who had trouble with Roxio and their CD's however that was dated 2002. Being on my own I uninstalled Roxio and to make sure that all was right I saved the Register and deleted the masses of Roxio information on the register. I had previously done the same with ErrorSmart. It brought my Array back and also my CD's. Sensing success I then installed Roxio again only to lose contact with the CD's - Roxio is again uninstalled and the computer is working but without Roxio which was working well before the use of ErrorSmart and that really is the total explanation.

Guest Eric Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Re: CD's missing Hello nesredep egrob I had a similar problem I fixed by corrected Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values in the registry. First I backed up (exported) the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11C E-BFC1-08002BE10318} then I deleted the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters subkeys (just the 2 subkeys). I then downloaded http://patches.sonic.com/PX/pxengine1_08_34a.exe, ran it, rebooted my machine and my DVD drive was finally recognized. Make sure you backup the key in case you need to restore it. I hope this helps.
