I tried to email roxio but to get into support I had to give them the cd# and the tsid # of the installation cd I did this and they said the tsid was not recognised I sent them another email and I am still waiting for a reply can anyone help my comp is a dell dimension 8200 intel pentium 4 processer 2.53ghzmemory 1gig hd 80g ext hd 120g windows xp home if I have the wrong forum I am sorry.thank you ,OZZIE37

    I have/had various versions of Roxio running on PC's with 800X600 resolution without any problems and Roxio never asked for a certain resolution.   What version of Roxio do you have?  V5? V6? V7?  or do you have the V5 Basic that Dell provided with new PC's?  Whatever version, go to the Roxio site and download/install any updates for the specific version that you have.

    There IS an update for V7.  Here's the link  http://www.roxio.com/en/support/emc/software_updatesv7.jhtml
     
    And, I have one PC with Windows XP (Home) and SP2 installed that is set to 800X600 with a CRT Montior and the V7 runs without any video issues.  There was never any Roxio notice to set the resolution to a different setting when it was installed or when any of the programs, I've used,  were run.

    Since, from your original post, that you had to reinstall Roxio and had problems since,
     
    Download roxizap.exe from the Roxio site, then uninstall Roxio, restart Windows, run the roxizap program to "completely" remove it, restart Windows again and then do a "fresh" install.  It's important to do the Windows restarts as noted, do not skip those.
     
    Roxio can be a bear to get removed and can cause many headaches.  I fought one for about 5 hours at a customer's site (home) before I got it straightened out, and had to use the roxizap program.  He had Record Now CD burning software (that came with the PC) but Roxio even had that hung up until I ran the roxizap.exe cleanup program.

    Sorry for the delay in replying to you but as I said I was waiting for my friend to do the uninstall and then try roxizap he did all that and I am still getting basically the same results the only programs that appear in 800x600 res are creator classic ,disc copier ,and label maker the rest ask for the higher res .I dont know what else I can yry also when I try the dvd creator my screen blacks out then opens up and starts flipping and when I stop it the colors are all different so in the meantime I am using a nero application that came with a dvd burner that I bought so thanks again firberd and if you happen to hear of anyone else that had my same symptoms can you let me know ,ozzie37
