DirectCD-Roxio drivers disabled-startup message

Do you have DLA (part of Sonic) and DirectCD (part of Roxio) both on your system?

I have the DLA part of Sonic I my system ( I'm pretty sure).  I ran several searches and looked in the control panel and there are no indications that DirectCE or any Roxio is on my system - only Sonic.

Have you ever had Roxio Easy CD Creator on your system?

 

Since the message is referring to DirectCD, run RoxiZap.  RoxiZap will
cleanly remove any Roxio fragments on your system.  Roxizap is here ........

Sorry about that.  It is half way down this page in step one.

Thank you for the link.  I also was able to find it on Google.  While it sounds like a great idea, it doesn't work.  It also took out some Sonic files.  I have reverted my hardrive and am now back to where I started.  But it was such a good suggestion.

The roxizap.exe solution sounds like the perfect answer.  However, I followed the link and ran a search on the roxio website and that download is nowhere to be found!

I'll do some searching.  Sonic now owns Roxio.  It may be worth the effort
to query Sonic about what is happening.

Can you query Sonic, Skybird?  Thanks for the effort.

 

In a 2001 posting on the Internet someone suggested going into the drivers folder of system32 in Windows and disabling "udfreader".  My problem has apparently been around for a number of years. I am a bit reluctant to try system alterations.  It would seem that Sonic might have as easier solution by now.

 

I am gathering that you are in a better position to query Sonic than I am. Thanks.
