Roxio keeps trying to install, have searched forums for answer, need help

Hello,
About a month ago I bought an 8300 series Curve. That night I tried installing Desktop Manager with Roxio, had lots of problems, read the forums, and decided against using Roxio. I unintalled everything (so I thought), and reinstalled Desktop Manager without Roxio. Everything was fine until this week. The computer was on but not used for a couple days while I was out of town: upon my return I saw that Roxio was trying to install itself again. I'm assuming an update was pushed out. Now, I can't get rid of it. I have uninstalled Blackberry Desktop software. I have deleted everything from my computer that has 'Roxio' or 'Sonic' in its name. I have run my registry tools in System Mechanic Professional. It still keeps trying to install. I even tried system restore. I disabled Windows Installer in msconfig, now it just keeps popping the installer window up and closing it. I can't download and install the Microsft Installer Cleanup utility mentioned on some forums because either a) I have disabled my installer, or b) when the installer is enabled, I get an error message telling me that another installation (aka the Roxio installation) is already in progress.
Surely, there must be some line in some code somewhere that I can get to and change so I can stop this thing from triggering Roxio to install. And, how do I clean it off and ban Roxio from ever trying to install anything on my system again? It's literally like some kind of virus.
Thanks.

This is an addendum to my previous post:
I somehow was able to sneak in an install of the Microsoft Installer Cleanup utility. But when I went to run it, Roxio or anything related was not listed at all. So, that was not a good solution.
I tediously went through the entire registry and deleted all references to Roxio. I re-enabled my Windows Installer. Now, something keeps trying to install, but never references Roxio anymore. The Windows Installer window pops up, then disappears. This happens in spurts now: the window pops up about 3 to 5 times, then stops popping up for a minute or two, then starts again. There's obviously one more registry reference that doesn't have 'Roxio' in the name. If anyone knows it and can point me to it, I'd be grateful.
In the meantime, I now have to figure out how to fix the resolution on my monitor. Obviously deleting some Roxio shared thing affected that, and I can't seem to find the right settings again. I feel like suing Roxio for the time I wasted today!

Have searched Forums for quite some time now. Cannot find a correct answer to: how do I prevent my old email address from appearing as the "from:" address when I use a "send this" link on a webpage/news article. The email window opens and automatically inserts my old Hotmail address instead of the Yahoo address I've used for a long time. (The drop-down won't let me change it or delete it.) Thanks.

Do you get a drop down list with suggestions if you clear that "from" field and click elsewhere on that page to move the focus off that field and then double-click again in that field or start typing the first letters of that unwanted email address?
Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop down list:
#Click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop down list
#Highlight an entry in the drop down list
#Press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to remove it.

Keep trying to install update for itunes and keep getting 'invalid signature'

keep trying to install the new updates for itunes and keep getting 'invalid signature' and it won't download

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

I have an iMac that I am running OSX 10.8.3 on. I keep trying to install 10.8.4 but it will not install. I tried updating and installing several times and it restarts the computer but it will not install the software. My machine is about 8 months old.

Sometimes the App Store version doesn't work correctly. In this case, install 10.8.4 with the Combo version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
The Combo installer is the safest way to update OS X, and it allows you to update more than one computer with a single download

Keeps trying to install build 10041 even though I already have it

My problem is in the title: Windows keeps trying to install flb impressive 10041 core even though I already have it.
Any help? Thanks!

Hi,
That's to say, your current Windows 10 already was upgraded to 10041 edition, isn't it?
You can access to the Registry path below and modify the valume: ThresholdOptedin, REG_DWORD, 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
If problem persists, try to rename Applicability to Applicability.old

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Bing Bar 7.0 (KB2626804) Keeps trying to install itself on my HP and Fails.

Hello, I have upgraded my system to Windows 10 Pro, and ever since it has been trying to install the Bing Bar 7.0 and failing. I dont need it. Dont have it. Didnt have it on my Windows 7 Pro. So I have no idea why it is trying to install it on my system. I have looked everywhere on my computer, and it is not in the programs to be installed. I have even looked in all of my browsers, to make sure that it wasn't hidden in any of those. It isnt. So I did a DxDiag on my system to see what it had to say, and when it uploads and fails, the Diagnosis says: +++ WER2 +++:

ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.3.183.5 INSTALLATION/ AND OPERATIG FAILURE WITH INT. EXP.9
Hello, I have spent four days and half of those nights trying to get this accursed thing to properly install and run. The damned thing indicates that it was successfully installed, but would not work and all programes that needed it, kept telling me I needed to instal it. Also, it appeared in my installed program list, but had no file size against it.
I had an hour on line with my Norton Tecnician, having suggested to him that Norton may be blocking it. He allegedly diconnected Norton and tried it, then told me the problem was not Norton.
WRONG!
I uninstalled it again for the millionth time, opened my Norton 360 and temporarily turned my Anti-virus off for 15 minutes, I then installed flash again and immediately re-set my Norton. In my case:
PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Have a nice day.

I keep trying to install the latest version of firefox and it's not working

I'm running firefox 3.something, I think, and I keep trying to install the latest version on my mac. I go through saving it, opening it, dragging the icon to my apps file...and when I drag it to my apps file it takes a few seconds to do *something*, pings at me and then...nothing after that. I try to open it and it tells me I have to close firefox first, so I do (restart even) and when it opens again it still opens the old version.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

Error: ' The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed)' . It keeps trying to install this patch but my version is the latest one!!

I have the latest version of firefox. I know this because your website says so. But for some reason, my current firefox keeps trying to install a new version by "trying" to install a patch. But it fails every time.
I cant say exactly when this started. A few weeks ago, firefox was behaving erratically (crashing for no reason at every launch due to some video plugin fail) but i uninstalled and reinstalled (a few times) and it was fine after the last one.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can also delete the active-update.xml file.

HT204347 OS X has failed to install and now it asks to restart but it just keeps trying to install and I can't quit it.

OS X has failed to install on my macbook pro and now it keeps trying to install when the computer restarts and I cannot get back to how it was and ditch the upgrade! Can you tell me how to do this please?

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Send To Handheld keeps trying to install an invalid file.

I made the mistake of trying to use Send To Handheld to install a .wmv file. It gave me an error message saying that I don't have an application that is compatible with this file on my Palm. OK. I can't install that file on my Palm. However, it keep trying to install this file every time I sync my Palm. I have deleted the file from my computer and Send To Handheld still keeps trying to install the file. Each time I get the same error message. So, how do I get Send To Handheld to stop trying to install that file?
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Unfortunately, no, I have not found a solution to this problem other than to make sure that the SD memory card is not in the memory slot when I sync. The installer is trying to install to that. So, if it is not available, it skips the attempt to install the incompatible file an syncs everything else.
It is really annoying that I can't find some other solution. One would think that the people who wrote these programs would know that some idiot would try to install an incompatible file with them and write in protections against that and/or a way to take the incompatible file out of the installation list. Back when I had to take a computer programing class in college, that was one of the things that they emphasized, idiot proofing our programs. The lab tutors were specifically told to try to crash our programs and if they succeeded, then we had to back and fix it so that it would happen again. It seems as if the people who wrote this program did not learn this lesson, as attempting to install an incompatible file is a fairly obvious potential error that should have been addressed.

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks

Thanks Kurt! I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close. I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank. In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well. Thanks for your help!
