Hello
I am running roxio easy cd/dvd creator 6 with avg 7.5.
Again my version of avg has been running fine.
Best of luck to all
Robert
Hi Julie,
Thanks for the clarification. But I'm not sure there's any correlation here
with my experience. First of all, when I tried running the installation
program a second time, without changing anything on my system,it didn't come
up with that message again. Which suggests there's something just quirky
about the install program itself. There hadn't been any version of any
Roxio digital audio program on my system in the first place.
So, in your case, by contrast, you're saying that the install program
accurately detected an older version of Roxio Easy CD/DVD Creator, but you
went ahead with the install, didn't bother to either delete the program from
your system or update it, and nothing bad seems to be happening, so far? Is
that it?
As for the fact that your computer is four years old and you haven't changed
anything on it, I don't understand that. A computer is one thing, and the
software on it is another thing. Most people install all sorts of software
on their computer over the period during they own that particular machine.
They upgrade this program, get this new other program, all sorts of things.
It's just normal. a computer's not like a car, where very few people do
something radical like have a different engine installed every now and then.
You mean you just never change anything about the software on a computer
until you buy a new one, years later, and then whatever has been
pre-installed on it, that becomes the software you run for the next four
years or so? You don't upgrade or update anything, whether it's Jaws or
Word or an antivirus program or anything? Maybe I misunderstood, and this
isn't quite what you meant.
Anyway, thanks, and I hope the AVG/Roxio bug doesn't cause you any problems
with either your virus protection or your digital audio projects.

It's an older version. I said he got the same message you did, so yes, it's
an older version. Our PC is almost four
years old, and we haven't updated the program, so that's why we got that
message from AVG.

that they will help us.
Yardbird wrote:Let me be clear about one thing, here: The message warns that the new version of AVG Free Edition has problems not with just any version of the Roxio program, but with *older* versions, and this message doesn't recommend getting red of any Roxio program, but rather suggests updating the one it thinks you have.
So, with that said, is your reassurance below founded on your husband's system having an older version of Easy CD/DVD Creator? Or does he have a current version of that program? This would seem to be a critical difference in what one might make of that warning, before going ahead an installing the new AVG in disregard of it, and feeling optimistic about the result..
Thank you.

Yes, I know. I'm the one who installed it on my husband's computer so I
know
what it says. I'm just saying he does have that program on his system but
still installed it anyway and has no problem. I only mean there must be
some
documented problem somewhere with the program and AVG, but my husband
doesn't have any problems with it, so I just said, even *if* you had it on
your system, it should still be OK.

You have to understand that the install program doesn't say "if you have this program Roxio you might have a probLeM;" it says "we have *detected* that you have this program and it will be a problem." See? So I appreciate the reassurance, but need more specific response.
thank you very muCH.

I don't use AVG, but my husband does, and he got the same warning but
installed it, anyway, and it's working fine on his end, too, so even if
you
did have it, there might be some documented problems or they wouldn't have
put that warning in there, but it's working fine for him. Take care.

Yardbird, Just ignore that warning. I don't know why you're getting it since you don't have Roxio anyway, but I got it with 2 different versions of Roxio and I still installed AVG and it has been working fine here. Troy

Subject: AVG install problem
Using the link Allen provided, I downloaded the update of AVG Free Edition. When I tried to install it, it warned me that there was an old version of Roxio EZ CD/DVD Creator on my system which would interfere with AVG.
I'm pretty sure I don't have the Roxio program. I would have to have downloaded, installed it and, of course, paid for it, which ssurely would've made me remember. I do have the latest version of the Poikasoft program Easy CD/DVD Extractor, but that isn't the same thing.
I can't find the Roxio program in my Start/Programs list, nor under Ad/Remove software in Control Panel.
Can anyone advise me, please?
Thanks.
