I have tried all the recommended solution to get rid of the Roxio Media Manger pop ups and nothing seems to help. I got rid of all references to Roxio in the registry - some could not be deleted even running in safe mode. What can I do? No new programs will load correctly.

This appears to be a continuation of your Roxio Media Manager thread, you should have posted a follow-up (there) and not started a new thread (here) easier to keep track this way.

Did you follow James' suggestion with links in post #4? If not, give that a shot.

The installer may be hidden, have you tried to find it after Show(ing) hidden files and folders - be careful. Have you checked Event Viewer to see if an installer has been flagged as a troublemaker, possibly in Application...?

thanks - will try your suggestions - did not see the roxio thread

I spotted this on Softpedia, but I'll also toss in a Use at your own risk and of course, make a System Restore point prior to using this.

I tried this BUT I am not sure how to use it - I did back up a restore point and then downloaded - followed the directions - i think - and nothing to note

One good thing about building your own computer is that you don't get s*** pre-installed.
