    I get this error message when:
    starting Roxio Creator 2012 pro
    the program runs without any apparent problems
    and

    when trying to uninstall roxio creator 2012 pro
    after message appears the uninstall is aborted

    the operating system is Visa Home Premium

    Do you actually have a J: drive? If not, something in your registry points to J:

    I suggest that you search your registry for instances of 'J:'.

    Here is a cleaner. Although it says 2011, apparently it is good for 2012 too.
    Code:

    The link is enormous, that's why I put code tags around it.

    do not have a j drive
    checked for j in registry - there are numerous but they are groups that look like they belong
    cannot use the cleaner because first you have to uninstall the program which I am prevented from doing

    Tried Revo? http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/revo_uninstaller.html
    It first uses the programs uninstaller so if you get an error, don't worry about it. Then it continues its own uninstall routine and finally picks through the registry and shows you what is left. (only select the items in bold for removal otherwise you will break the registry and render the computer unbootable).

    I do not understand this; do you find 'J:' (the letter 'J' and a colon) in the registry? If so, in what key(s)?
