Roxio 9, Roxio Creator 9 and Roxio Creator 10 are different animals. Roxio 9 is 3 years old +. It likely will not handle 64bit or Windows 7.

Check your computer specs. It could be that your computer is not power enough to run the software.

finalize it. that simple.

uninstall it or if you cant start your computer reload windows from disc. media creator may be too "big" for your system. pentium 4 min.required,i should think no easy way out if its crashing your computer

Well, if you have a friend or neighbor who has Window XP Home, you could borrow their CD, but use your product key during the installation.

I have Easy Media Creator 8. When I try to make a Slide Show everything
works till I reach the " Burn". Then it freezes on me.

Any suggestions what is causing this problem.

Thanks.

When your operating system begians fail all kinds of weird things can happen. Blue screens come from software & hadware. (shame you did not write down the message shown while in the blue screen)
First run a full system scan for a virus. Once complete. Put your Win XP CD in your CDROM. Restart your notebook. If your notebook does not start up the CDROM restart the notebook again & press F5 key every 2 seconds. This will bring up windows boot menue. Using your keyboard's up & down arror keys move to the CDROM & press enter. The Win XP CD will startup. Read the on screen instructions, you want to re-install windows only! Doing a re-install only over writes windows repairing it's self. Most of your personal data will not be erased.
Once complete, go to Dell's web site & install any drivers that are newer than the drivers shown on your Dell CD.

Re-start the notebook. Than run windows update. (which may take some time to complete & include a few restarts).
Everything should go back to normal.

Good Luck & kind Regards

this might fix your seeing your drives
