I am having the same problem. I have a dimension e310. Only had the system 2 weeks now and there is contant issues!! I'm sick of it. If anyone knows anything please let us know.
Did you try to uninstall the program while it was running? Make sure it isn't running (including the tray icon) and use "add/remove programs" in the control panel.
Yes I exited all and went to add remove programs and it will not let me un-install it. I even went to music match site to update my version and once it downloads I get a message that I have a newer version. I wondered if it had anything to do with the Sonic program which is a peice of junk because everytime I click on burn cds/dvds in Sonic I get a windows installer asking for the disk which I didn't get with my new system. I went and installed nero to be able to copy/record. I thought about going into my registry and deleting music match but was afraid something else would be compromised.
I bought the Inspiron 9300 and have the same problem as the OP. I don't even use the software and didn't want it. I've tried to delete it but get a setup.exe error. And like the previous poster, I've tried to get a newer version (hoping to then uninstall it) and it tells me I already have a newer version. I'd like to just nuke the darn thing...
Is there a way for me to get rid of it without uninstalling it?
Is there something I can do in the registry settings to keep if from even running.
If I accidentally punch one of the buttons on the media control panel (?) on the front of the laptop, it tries to launch MusicMatch Jukebox. ARGH!!!
The MusicMatch web site has a place to submit info related to the problem. If I had ALL DAY I might be able to gather up the files and info they want...
I really wish someone had a solution to this. I don't use it or the sonic program either which I think you have to have both for sonic to work, so I just went to Nero. They are just taking up space.
I finally did enough looking around online to find a solution.
For MusicMatch Jukebox, go to Start->Run and type in msconfig.
When the box opens, click on the Startup tab. Find the file named mimboot and remove the checkmark. Click OK. That will prevent MusicMatch from starting up, so you shouldn't be bothered by that anymore.
I started getting all of the Sonic screens where it was trying to update. I found a fix for that on Cnet. Here is a link to the instructions with a hot fix to download. Seems to have at least quieted down Sonic Update Manager.

I still have issues with some of the other cr*p Dell stuck on here (had to uninstall Corel) but I am slowly weeding out the garbage. Good luck.
