Boycott Roxio

2008-01-26
I downloaded a Roxio video decoder. It did not work, and I tried to contact the company via their online help. They never returned my e-mail. I'm out the $18 I spent on the download, but I will never patronize this company again.

Claims to be Vista compatible but isn't

2008-01-05
I picked this up because it was an inexpensive solution from a big name company and it claims to be Compatible with Vista. It is not!!

As soon as installation finished I got a couple popups saying that this software has compatibility issues with Vista and has been blocked from running. Vista gives another window to check for possible solutions online...none. I registered the software with Roxio in hopes that I could run the auto-updater to find a patch. The auto-updater that is included with this software is not recognized by the Roxio website. HUH???? *&%!

"It doesn't work" is the kindest thing I can say about this.....

Roxio Easy CD & DVD is anything but easy. That's because it causes my PC to freeze and turns blank disks into trash. Even after I use the Task Manager to close frozen windows, the CD drive is locked shut until I reboot.

This PC is less than six months old, and it doesn't have any hard drive or registry issues - at least it didn't before I loaded this software.

I'm really kicking myself for not taking a look at these reviews before I purchased this. The Windows Media Center software that came with my PC does it all better anyway.

Live and learn.

NOT recommended,

Trial version?

2007-12-08
I've use version 5 for years so I thought this might be a little better.
I had not used it since installation but today I wanted to burn a DVD and got the message "trail version expired". I check the box and no where does it say that it is a trial version. How many people would spend $25 for a trial version? This has the earmark of a class action suit. How many people got riped off with this one. Never again will I spend money on roxio.

Avoid at all costs

caused my CD drive to stop working completely. When I tried to update it I got the black screen of death "windows could not start normally". Thank god I had a roxio removal tool (cant even uninstall it without a special tool)

AVOID

Forget it!

I bought this Roxio software and installed it on my XP system and up came a Corrupted Error report. When I went to get the details this is what came up next: "Unfortunately, the error report you submitted is corrupted and cannot be analyzed. Corrupted error reports are rare. They can be caused by hardware or software problems, and they usually indicate a serious problem with your computer."

Before I installed this software I created a Restore Point. I unstalled this program and returned to the Restore Point and the message came up "System fully recovered." Whew! Stay away from this loser Roxio product. Oh yes, I tried getting in touch with Roxio without success, but that is another story.

Roxio / Mad Dog package - destroyed my pc

2008-05-24
I bought that combo package and the software crashed my pc's.
Got the free upgrade to Version 9 from Roxio since Version 8 was so awful.
Version 9 worked some...at least I could copy a cd/dvd once in awhile if I were lucky, before it hung or blue screened (on xp).
Even after that, it interfered with my wireless network card and slowed my entire pc down.
I didn't know about the slowing down of the whole pc til today. I bought my wife a new computer because the one I installed Roxio crap-ware on was nearly unusable.
Today for the heck of it, I removed all the roxio from that computer and it's once again a fast, usable pc as soon as the roxio stuff was removed. Full virus scan reported no viruses either. Just Roxio - which destoys everything.

sad

I loved it before I bought a pc with vista and now sadly it is not compatible.

Doesn't function!

2008-04-19
This product is not the real thing. It doesn't function at all. In all categories, I receive a message stating "your free trial period is completed." I paid for this item and it is totally useless to me! I didn't ask for a free trial period period! I tried the Roxio website for FAQ--no help! I wrote to the company and also--no help! I truly expected to receive a fully functioning product when I purchased it from Amazon. I uninstalled and reinstalled the product. Nothing but frustration through the process. It doesn't work!

Do not waste your money and buy this software!

2008-03-08
This is the second time I am writing this review. I don't know what Amazon did with the first one!? Anyway, do not waste your money on this software. I have already destroyed my disc by putting in my shredder. Boy, did that feel good! This product has so many problems that I thought I was back in the early '90s when almost all software had bugs and needed endless patches and fixes. I think Roxio should recall this product and give us all our money back!
