I want to use Nero, not Roxio
I have just purchased a Dell Dimension 2350 computer. It arrived
yesterday (7/15). I haven't even taken it out of the box yet and probably won't have a chance to set it up until tomorrow. This unit is equipped with a CD-RW, and I do a lot of audio CD burning so I'm relatively experienced with it, thanks to a lot of help I've gotten from this group. I normally use EAC for extraction purposes. I know some folks have had some ASPI problems using that with Windows XP, have had to download some stuff to make it work right, but I have some inquiries out about that at the EAC newsgroup on Yahoo so I can take care of any issues ASAP. My intention here is to be proactive and head off problems, not wait until they happen. I normally use Nero to burn CDs. Nero was bundled with the Lite-On CD-RW I installed on my present computer last year, and I still have the Version 5 disc, registered to me. I know Roxio EZ-CD Creator is installed on the computer I bought. I don't want it, have no intention of ever launching it. I've read both the horror stories and praise about Roxio over the years. Those of you who love it and for whom it works well, more power to you. Those of you who hate it and have told the horror stories, you've gotten my attention. Bottom line, if I can help it this program will never be launched on my computer. The first thing I intend to do after I get my computer set up and running is to install Nero and download Exact Audio Copy. My question is this ... I've seen some posts, not so much here but on the Dell groups, that say it is problematic to uninstall Roxio from your computer, that it can screw things up to where the new program you install (i.e., Nero) won't work as it should. Has anyone here had experience along those lines? Can Nero and Roxio co-exist without me uninstalling Roxio? Is there anything I can do to make them co-exist? Or if there isn't anything I can do to make them co-exist, what do I need to do to uninstall Roxio without creating any problems? Or if it's impossible to uninstall Roxio without creating any problems, what do I need to do to fix said problems? Because I want to be proactive about this, I want to take care of things at the start and not wait until problems develop. Thanks in advance for any help. |
