When I start up windows XP - used for many years satisfactorily, it now tries to start a utility to install Windows Update manager for Roxio. This started suddenly for sume reason about a month ago and at that time I had Roxio Easy Craatro on the computer. I uninstalled that program and tried to completely clean out everything in that directory. I then bought and installed the new version of Roxio creator 2010 but when I stary Windows up, the Rosie Updagte Manager installer starts and nothing seems to defeat it staying there. I did get a utility that deleted that program but left me with a Roxio Burn Manage trying to be installed but no source. Driving me nust and I'm been using a computer for 40+ years Billy J Millis

Hi,
1. start - control panel - regional and language sttings - go to keyboard and languages tab - under general you will find installed services . remove every thing other than keyboard US.
2. start - run - msconfig - start ups - disable all the start ups. restart the computer if it works check each and every one and find out which is causing the problem.

the Roxio Media Manager is belong to the system, and this part the program is in need to run part of the system...

Download and apply a hotfix from Sonic. The file name of the hotfix is Isum_hotfix.exe. Use the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility to remove entries that reference Sonic Update Manager.

Hello,

After reading your problem I came across some interesting references about roxio and agent.exe.
Seems agent.exe is used by many programs to update themselves over the internet, and it was giving a lot of people headaches by using 70% or more of their CPU, like yourself.

So, I wanted to send you a few quick thoughts on how to hopefully fix your situation.

First, there were complaints about stuff trying to install itself on and on, and it was because there were command lines in the STARTUP MENU calling upon them to install every time windows starts.

So to try to fix this if its happening in your case........
Go to start>run>and type in msconfig and click ok.
Now click startup and uncheck these items.

issch
ISUSPM
'ISUSPM Start Up'
'ISUSSCheduler'
Adobe Reader Speed Launcher
Quick Time Task
Igfxtray
HotKeysCmds
MSMSGS
WMPNFCSG
COMMUNICATOR
PERSISTENCE (igfxpers)
DLA

Then click apply, then ok and restart your computer. When windows starts, you will see a window saying that changes were made to the configuration utility. When you see it, click on the little white box saying not to show this any more.
And if you really miss not having something you unchecked, you can always go back there and recheck it!

Maybe now you will have the chance to purge all things Roxio from your system.
Best of luck!!

Getting older programs to run on Windows XP Getting older programs to run on Windows XP Most programs run properly on Windows XP. The exceptions are some older games and other programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows. To run your program on Windows XP, try the following:

1. Run the Program Compatibility Wizard. As an alternative, you can set the compatibility properties manually.
2. Update your program, drivers, or hardware.

These options are covered in detail below.
The Program Compatibility Wizard This wizard prompts you to test your program in different modes (environments) and with various settings. For example, if the program was originally designed to run on Windows 95, set the compatibility mode to Windows 95 and try running your program again. If successful, the program will start in that mode each time. The wizard also allows you to try different settings, such as switching the display to 256 colors and the screen resolution to 640 x 480 pixels.
If compatibility problems prevent you from installing a program on Windows XP, run the Program Compatibility Wizard on the setup file for the program. The file might be called Setup.exe or something similar, and is probably located on the Installation disc for the program.
To run the Program Compatibility Wizard

1. Start the Program Compatibility Wizard.
2. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

Linux is much better than windows as for one you dont have to worry alot about viruses but pretening on installing that software maybe its just not compatible with windows
