I had Roxio Creator 9 & 2009 on my PC. I used the 'Add/Remove Programs' to remove Creator 9. I did not manually fix the registry before I rebooted, I got the BSOD. The PC would not boot in Safe Mode. I could not access Regedit to fix it. I used the Dell Recovery Disk (Reinstall, Repair - XP SP2) to perform a repair.
I encountered two major issues while attempting to perform an XP Repair. The first was the repeated request for the file 'asms'. The program would not recognize the CD ROM. Since I knew that my files were good, I entered 'C:\I386' each time a file was requested. It permitted me to move on to load drivers. I encountered the second problem when the driver load was about 3/4 complete. Another file was requested but the mouse and keyboard were frozen (See 'Win XP Repair USB Keyboard Problem' post by 'buff nasty'. I pulled out all USB plugs and, since my mouse was plugged into the keyboard, I tried plugging the keyboard into various USB ports. After trying the front ports (no power), I found a port on the back that retained power and the keyboard/mouse reactivated. I was able to complete the repair. Although IE8 was replaced by IE6 and other Windows updates need to be completed, the repair did work. I have not tried to run Roxio 2009 yet.edited by moderator: Subject title renamed from XP Repair Issues - FYI only as requested
that post is just confusing? Why the FYI? What are you trying to say? Some HELP in posting on Computing.net plus free progs and instructions Cheers
It is an FYI because I do not need a solution. I am offering an account of my experience that related to two problems involving an XP repair.
Perhaps admin will change the header to "Roxio Creator 9 uninstall problems" or such and save someone else a world of headaches in the future. Or perhaps people reading this post will refrain from posting their solutions to problems that have yet to be asked........
