The Vista DVD did not contain Roxio Easy Media Creator 9 as that is a retail and separate product. If you have Roxio Easy Media Creator V9 then you should have the CD for it. I had to reinstall V9 after I upgraded to Vista as it wasn't working correctly after the upgrade. Roxio DE would have come on your PC, not on the Vista DVD, and if you don't have the restore CD for that, contact Dell to get it.
The only thing on the Vista DVD is the Operating System and Microsoft applications that come with the Vista Operating System. Roxio is a separate product produced by Sonic Solutions and is not affiliated in any way with Microsoft.
Hi it was install form the DVD upgrade assistant, part of the 2 disc express vista upgrade. As I mention in my first post the upgrade assistant installed the roxio creatore DE. So could I pop in the upgrade assistant DVD and try to install the roxio or leave it along?

I tried, I inserted the upgrade assistant DVD, looked in the application folder clicked on the Roxio Creator DE file but it's password protected. All the apps are password protected. I can still use Roxio, it's just that the configure installation window pops up and I have to click on cancel, the same window pops up 4 times and then Roxio opens.

Try exploring the DVD for a readme file ... it may have the password you are seeking,
You could also try: Dell ... or Roxio ... or Vista as possible passwords to access
that folder. You can also call Dell and tell them you need to access the folders to
burn the individual apps to a cd for backup purposes. You paid for the software,
you should be allowed full access to the folders.
Try copying the folder to the hard drive, then try to take ownership of it.
That may remove the password.
