Installing roxio media manager

Asked by Dougham. Watches your folders for any new media added, like many other media programs do. Add a bunch of new pictures, Media Manager keeps track of them and when new media is added, it will open up and allow you to do some editing and organizing of the new stuff.

Personally, I don't need or want the feature so I turned it off, like many others. When I want to work with any photos or videos, I know where they are at and import them myself.

You can turn it off two different ways. The best way is through msconfig. The Software should give you the opportunity to disable this feature, the above is hardly user friendly and it causes other problems on boot up with error messages eventually I uninstalled the SW. Its another example of things being foisted upon us without the option of actually loading and disabling parts that one does or does not need.

It could have easily been included in the SW a simple not run at startup icon seeing that other applications manage it. I don't know if it is hard for Roxio or not. This is a user forum, so you aren't talking to Roxio directly. Every once in awhile a Roxio person will drop in. You can right click on that icon in the tray and stop it. You can also disable it in Media Manager. And, you have the option of not installing Media Manager when you install the program. All of these ways are pretty much standard ways of doing things in Windows.

Bruce actually mentioned the most simple one manage all your apps at once, not each one independantly. Most apps have the option to disable things like this from within the applicaiton but rather then remembering each every different applicaitons location where this option is, most windows users choose to have windows itself manage things like this.

Nics one! Hasn't given me any problems, but I have now disabaled it thanks to reading this thread. Every time I startup the computer it appears again in the system tray. I want to switch it off for good. I think what I did was right click on it and selec 'exit stop managing my media services or whatever the option was.

It first re-appeared with a red cross through it and now it has gone altogether so I am very happy with the result. I could have lived with it being there with a red cross through it anyway. What is the error message you are getting after reboot? If you are getting an error message then the msconfig most likely did not work and MMS will continue to be loaded and appear in the tray. It's also entirely possible to launch each application by itself if the guided Suite approach doesn't suit your needs.

With so many different sub-applications, it's a tough call to give an overall assessment, especially given the wide range of applications on offer. No doubt the basics -- especially video editing -- will appeal most to many purchasers, and in the wide pantheon of consumer video applications, Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 stacks up well, with plenty of easy to use predefined templates and a nice wizard-driven interface for timid users.

As with most Windows consumer video editing software, we also encountered the odd bit of instability with the Roxio Easy Media Creator 10 package. Sometimes this was just a program component that would flash up a splash screen, only to vanish forevermore. More annoyingly, we did attempt to render a few files to DVD, only to have the package lock up mid-encode, after more than an hour's rendering time.

As always with Windows -- and seemingly even more so with Windows Vista -- it's tough to say if this was an application or an operating system problem, as it took the system down with it.

At the end of the day, though, our encoding didn't work and we'd wasted some time. Roxio Creator Roxio Creator Small Business Edition. Roxio Media Manager. Easy Media Creator. Click to DVD.
