Roxio won't initialise

Question

I have a Dimension 8200, Win 2k, which has worked well, - only been fouled up rarely by virus attacks.  My Roxio CD burn software wont initialise. I click to open the program, and select Make a DataCD, and a box appears: 'Easy CD creator engine initialisation has failed: (Could not Initialise the engine)'  - and an OK button.  I click the OK, and another box appears: 'Exception in CreateInstanc of Creator!' with another OK option I click again and another box appears: 'CreatR50.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.' and another OK. I have uninstalled the hardware, and uninstalled the Roxio software, and reinstalled them both.  What could be causing this?

Hi F-P,We have a number of Roxio Support articles listed on the CD/RW site. Click on the CD/RW link in my post and scroll to Section 43, articles 4 & 2; Section 45, article 14; Section 46, article 2; then review Section 47, there you will find articles from one of Roxio`s Moderator, Patrick that may help.Best Regards God, grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do and the eyesight to tell thedifference.

Hi Predator - & many thanks so far!

I have read through the pages / articles yu suggested and got to page article 45 number 14

The others didnt apply.

But the link to get the file "Regsrv32a.exe" takes me to the Microsoft support page. Search doesnt help me - how do i get the file?

Frustrated - still but working on it!
