    Is anything related to roxio listed in startup? CCleaner will show Startup under the Tools button.

    I'll look around the net in the morning to see what I can find. With a search term like roxio and all the problems they cause I'm sure I'll get a million hits. :(

    What version of Roxio is installed on the computer?
    Anything Adaptec on the computer? Adaptec was bought out by Roxio.

    Check for "Drag to Disk" in Add/Remove programs. That part of Roxio seems to create problems specifically for Dell computers.

    much thanks to all who took the time to look into this for me. i found a solution for anybody who just wants roxio gone from their pc. heres the link to roxio zap:

    http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Roxio-Zap-Download-21600.html. so far ot seems to have been exactly what i was looking for. no more roxio=no more drivers blocked because of roxio.
    again thanks for your time. and i hope this info helps others who are having roxio issues (surely there are plenty out there).

    Thanks for letting us know how you resolved the problem. Good to know that a utility exists to remove Roxio remnants after an uninstall.
