Vista slow when Roxio Media Manager installed

Hi guys,
I have a Blacbkberry Bold and installed the desktop software with media manager straight out the box.
It all works great only when vista is loading up it is incredibly slow. My antivirus (Mcaffee) and internet connection status in the taskbar do not start as they used to.
I have narrowed the problem down to Roxio as when i uninstalled it vista loaded perfectly.
I had DS 4.6 out of box but upgraded to 4.7.
Does anybody know why Roxio does this? Its a nice piece of kit and would like to use it again, but not when it affects vista so badly!
I have the following system:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz
3.00GB RAM
32-bit OS
Can anybody help or know a solution?

If you wish a free tool to convert your DVD and avi files to movies to play on blackberry I would suggest the Handbrakeapplication.
I use it for my needs and it is good for me.
You can download it here
I discussed about it here
To convert mp3's I recommend to use free open source tool CDex

Roxio Media Manager Install Problem

I get the following error message when I try to run Roxio Media Manager from the Desktop Software:
"MediaManager9Module has stopped working correctly.  A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you when a solution is available."
I have done a lot of reading about this problem and most of the time users just tell the poster to use their Blackberry as a mass storage device. If they do that they won't need Roxio Media Manager. I want to use the Roxio because I have a lot of pictures and it's easier to upload them to the blackberry using Roxio - it utilizes a split screen with your computer pictures on top and your blackberry folders on the bottom... then as you browse through your pictures you just say "Copy down" and the picture goes to whatever folder you specify on the Blackberry. I just got a 4GB stick to hold all my photos so believe me the Roxio technique is far faster for me. I have successfully installed Roxio on my work computer a Dell XPS - it was a trial as well. I had to uninstall everything and completely remove all "Roxio" files including the registry. This did not work for the Acer though which is my home computer.  Right now the Acer has 4.5 installed (Roxio Media Manager did install) but when I try to click to access Roxio I get the above mentioned error message.
There are obviously a lot of people out there with this problem and no answer from Roxio or Blackberry (I called Blackberry who passed me off to Roxio who wanted me to PAY.) I also tried contacting Roxio via email from their Roxio website - they said contact Blackberry... thus I get the runaround. I just got this Blackberry (it cost me $432.) you would think something that expensive would come with software that... I don't know, works. And if i didn't they would offer some kind of tech help here.  Totally pathetic.
Hoping somebody has some insight....

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Uninstalling and deleting all folders/files and registry entries named, RIM, Research in Motion, Roxio and Sonic worked to get Roxio Media Manager successfully installed and running on my Dell. I had some “trial” version of Roxio on my computer that came with it when I bought it and when it expired it created problems when installing Roxio Medica manager.
That was not the problem and not the solution to get Roxio Media Manager installed and running on my Acer. I tried the above, but I kept getting error messages after restart upon installing Desktop Manager due to some Roxio problem (I just didn’t know what.) I would also get error messages when I tried to access Roxio from the Desktop Manager. When I installed Desktop Manager on the Dell I used “Run as administrator” for the install but I do not have to right click and hit “Run as Administrator” every time I launch that program on the Dell to get any feature of it to run correctly including Roxio. I do for the Acer – that was the problem… but it took some tweaking to get that to happen. When I right click and hit “Run as Administrator” on the Acer the Desktop Manager would launch and it was able to read my blackberry when I plugged it in off the main menu. But when I went to any other feature off the main menu, like Sync or Roxio, it would not read the Blackberry – in the top left corner of the program it went from “Connected” to “Disconnected.” It also crashed the program several times and I had to bring up the Task Manager to quit the program because it had become “non-responsive.” The only part of the Desktop manager (after trying repeatedly) that was able to still read the blackberry when I selected “Run as Administrator” was the “Add/Remove Applications” feature. After it starting “seeing” the Blackberry from the Applications part the program I was able to go into Sync, and Roxio with it still able to “see” the Blackberry. Then I was able to successfully run the Roxio part of the desktop manager.  Odd I know…
Both the Dell and the Acer run Vista Home Premium. There were 2 separate problems causing Roxio to not install or run correctly. Both problems should have been addressed by Blackberry or Roxio. As I mentioned, I just bought this Blackberry and it cost me $432 – I am still somewhat in shock that a product that expensive comes with software that is literally up to the user to figure out how to run. That there is no way to get Roxio or Blackberry to respond themselves with a fix for this common problem is unbelievable. That we the user have to spend hour after hour troubleshooting when we should be enjoying our new blackberry is pathetic. I feel like the company just said, “Here, you figure it out.” Nice, huh?
The Desktop Manager (including all its features) should be available to all Blackberry users… then each individual can make a knowledgeable decision as to which program, either Desktop Manager or using “Mass Storage Device” is the easiest or more efficient for them.
Hope this helps… just trying to pass along what worked for me…

Desktop Manager and Roxio Media Manager Soooo Slow

Desktop Manager and Roxio Media Manager are so slow. Why? Just getting them to open takes five minutes or more.

I'm glad I found this thread.
I loaded the Desktop Manager and Roxio Media Manager 2 days ago. It completely crippled my laptop (running Vista, 4GB RAM etc), which previously ran very well.
I suspected it was Roxio when I watched it take 20 minutes to install.
Worringly, my laptop was crippled without the Desktop or Roxio software being used. The response rate was once every 5 minutes, and when eventually getting to the Task Manager and looking at the Processes and Applications (a 15 minute job!), there was nothing untoward.
Having uninstalled them and rebooted, the laptop is back to its former glory so quite what Roxio was doing in the background, I have no idea. I won't be touching it again.

Can't install or uninstall Desktop software and Roxio Media Manager has taken over

I had been having trouble with the Blackberry Desktop software crashing each time I closed it when I was done using it. This morning when I booted my computer I got an error message that said RoxWatchTray9 was unable to locate component. When I tried to close that box it attempted to install something but it just stalls. When I close try to cancel it just freezes. After while it tries to install again only to freeze again.
I figured the best solution would be to uninstall and reinstall the program but when I went into Add/Remove I discovered six listings for Blackberry Device Software for Blackberry 9530 smartphone, one for v5.0 and five for v4.7.0. I finally managed to uninstall the v5.0 at the top of the list but I can't remove the other five. I also can't reinstall the program. Roxio Media Manager continues attempting to force an install and is hogging my system resources. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Try this process (you might have to do step 2 multiple times for each instance of what is showing in add/remove programs):
I suggest the following steps (insert plenty of reboots of your PC...not just restarts, but full power down reboots). Also, it is advised that you be logged into the PC on an account with full admin rights. Further, under Vista/WIN7, use the "Run As Administrator" option for everything.
1) Remove your device OS update package from your PC (add/remove programs)
2) Cleanly uninstall the RIM DTM software:
KB02206 How to perform a clean uninstall of BlackBerry Desktop Software
3) Get a fresh download of the RIM DTM software:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Choose the version that is newest and (if applicable) compatible with your PIM (if you are synchornizing via USB):
KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
4) Download (to your PC) a fresh copy of your device OS package from your carrier:
http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
5) Install DTM to your PC
6) Install (also to your PC), the device OS package
7) Start the organizer configuration over:
KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Hopefully that will get things going again. You might also want to avoid Media Manager unless you really really need it.
Good luck and let us know!

Desktop Manager 5.0 / Roxio Media Manager Fail to Install

I am getting error 1904 module when trying to install Desktop Manager 5.0 (see errors below). I am the administrator on this laptop (hpdv8130us).
I have tried the solution where you create a reset.cmd via notepad. Result was the same.
Also, I tried a clean installation and still receive the same errors.
If I hit okay to the errors the next step is that it tries to install Roxio Media Manager and that hangs after the progress bar is complete (I let it sit for 4 hours). When I go to cancel Roxio Media Manger, it also hangs there as well. The only to get past this screen was to enter task manager and end the "dumprep.exe" process. While this gets me past the hangs/freezes, when I start DM5 it works but when I go to start Media Manager, it opens but doesn't load, the computer still runs albeit slowly because Roxio is now using 85-95% of system resources.
Running Windows XP with the latest service pack.
These are the errors I receive when trying to install Desktop Manager 5.0

Hello qwick and welcome to the forums!
It sounds to me like the installer is having trouble registering some required dlls. This article might help you out with this issue.
Also, do you know if you already have any Roxio Media Managers installed on your computer? Did you have a previous version of BlackBerry Desktop Manager installed and if so, did you uninstall it before installing this new one or install the new one without uninstalling the previous version?
hope to hear from you soon

Windows Installer-Roxio Media Manager freezes computer when booting up..

I sure hope someone can tell me what the solution to my problem is. I am quite the novice so please, if you have an answer, make the solution as simple as possible.When I turn on my computer and it's trying to load everything, I first get a box with Windows Installer at the top and Roxio Media Manager at the bottom, which hangs up my computer. This just happened one day out of the blue, maybe a few weeks ago. This morning I left my computer about 15min after I turned it on, and when I came back to it, the BB Desktop Manager was in the background with the box I mentioned above on top of it, and it had totally frozen up my computer and all I could do was shut my computer off with the on/off switch. I had to do this shutdown several times after trying to get my computer booted up. One day when this box above popped up I right away went to Windows Task Manager and ended the task and the box went away. My computer then booted up but was very very very slow, almost like it was freezing up, so I waited and eventually my computer booted up and it was fine. If I don't get to this box and end the task almost as soon as it pops up, it freezes my computer. I don't know if I caused something by starting to "End Task" when box popped up or not. I'm at a total loss at what to do. I don't want to have to keep doing this every day. I've come very close to just uninstalling the BB Desktop Manager. I hope there is someone out there that can understand what this problem is and can help me. I don't know if I've explained it clearly enough or not. Please help!!!

on the blackberry.com website, you can download the Desktop Manager without Media Manager.

Roxio Media Manager - It keeps trying to install itself

Hi Everyone,
Roxio Media Manager continuosly tries to install itself and it won't go away. I tried to uninstall it but a window pops up that states Windows Installer is running. I tried to force quit the installer and/or Roxio, but I don't see anything in the processes panel.
I tried running registry cleaners, tried an aftermarket uninstaller program... nothing has worked. What's worse, the Windows Installer window keeps popping up and interrupts everything I'm trying to do on the computer. I can't even let it go in the background and ignore it.
Not only that, but it is also bogging down the processor immensly.
Everywhere I look on the internet, people keep suggesting a windows clean up utility from the Microsoft site, but that download is no longer available (apparently it too was causing problems)
The only other suggestion was http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/898890.htm and recommended that I download & reinstall "Desktop Manager 5.0.1 B73 Multilanguage with Media Manager", but that file is obsolete now and is no longer on the RIM site.
I'm at a total loss for what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
Rob

Roxio Media Manager keeps re-installing itself

The Roxio Media Manager on my PC keeps trying to reinstall itself. In the past I would leave the Blackberry software CD in the drive and it would take care of it (removing the CD from the drive brought back the error). I just updated to BB software version 4.5 and I am now getting the Roxio Media Manager installer window constantly, even with the CD present.
It is looking for the Roxio Media Manager.msi file which is on the CD.
I cancel and the window pops right back up.
I tried uninstalling the Media Manager but I can't do it because this installer process always seems to be running in the background and cannot be killed.
Any advice on how to resolve this??

BB Desktop / Roxio Media Manager Problems

Seriously, how does anyone use this software? I'm using the latest 4.7 version. Connecting my Storm up to my PC (Windows Vista), the overall response time is so slow that it is almost painful to watch. Issues -
1. Checks for applications updates everytime I click on a function? Really? This just happened when I launched the application - why does it do it everytime I click on Add application, manage media, etc?
2. Roxio Media Manager - this is about the most painful piece of software I've ever used. Did anyone really QA this before shipping it? Slow, slow, and slow. No indication that it is doing anything after you click on an action. Half the time it doesn't do anything! Moving media files, pictures, etc should take this long. Even navigating the local file system shouldn't take 30 - 60 seconds to do.
BB - any updates coming? It feels like this was rushed out before it was fully developed....

Research shows:
1. (thanks to my friend John Clark for this instructional) To prevent this from happening this you need to install Desktop Manager WITHOUT this Automatic Update service. Below are the steps to remove this service.
1. Go to Control Panel >Add/Remove Programs.
2. Click on "BlackBerry Desktop Software" and select "Change/Remove."
3. When prompted, hit "Next" and then you should get options for Modify, Repair, or Remove. Choose "Modify."
4. On DM 4.7 and higher, in the list of installed items, you should see "BlackBerry Automatic Update." Click the icon next to it and change it to "This feature will not be available." That should put an "X" next to "BlackBerry Automatic Update." If you are using DM 4.6 or lower and don't see this option in this list then just continue with the install and the installation will ask you a few screens later. A screen will be shown where you will be asked to check the boxes for:
A) "Start BlackBerry Desktop Manager automatically each time the computer starts."
B) "Create a shortcut for BlackBerry Desktop Manager on the Windows Desktop."
C) "Check for software updates."
Be sure number 3, "Check for software updates," is NOT checked.
2. Yes the Roxio software is buggy to me as well. I don't install it and life stays good. Use Mass Storage Mode enabled on your Media Card (Options > Media Card) and then you can drag/drop files from your PC to the Media Card as it will appear simply as a removable drive.

Roxio media manager 9

Hi,
Roxio Media Manager 9 was working fine up until today. Now when i start it up, it closes straight down with an unhandled runtime application error.
Any ideas?
Also.. is there a good file manager utility that I could use?
thanks,
Simon.

Hopefully that will get things going again.
Incidentally, I used to also not recommend Media Manager...but recently discovered that it can indeed help. I had a particular avi that would always crash my BB at the same point of playback. I switched to MM and moved the file to my BB (allowing MM to transcode it) and it now plays just fine. So there are benefits and indeed needs for MM.
As for a good file manager -- do you mean on the device itself? It has a native file explorer...not terribly powerful, but I never try to do anything native on the device that needs power...when I need that, I use USB tether and Mass Storage Mode.
Good luck and let us know!

Roxio Media Manager or Windows Installer

Hello all. First let me say that I am truly a novice when it comes to PC understanding. Ok, so I purchased a blackberry pearl and had to replace it. Long story short, I ended up tryign to back up my data on my pc and now I keep getting error messages..."please wait while windows installer configures roxio media manager" or something to that effect (not at my home pc right now, sorry). I had a friend come and did what I thought was a removal of BB Desktop software and a restore to a point before I had installed it, but no dice. Still have the error, but no software. Purchased an external hard drive to back up my data, but can't even do that because I get the Installer error anytime I try to install new software on the pc. Pls help.

on the blackberry.com website, you can download the Desktop Manager without Media Manager.

Roxio Media Manager Mac

Hello,
I just downloaded Roxio Media Manager for Mac. Does the Mac version not have the media portion in the software? On the Desktop Manager I just get the information such as Calander, Contacts etc..
Thanks JR

start- run, type
msconfig and press OK
clcik on STARTUP tab at the top, right down whats either checked or unchecked(whichever is the smallest option)
click disable all button
click on the SERVICES tab at the top
at the bottom click checkmark in "hide all microsoft services"
again write down what is or isnt checked(smallest option)
click DISABLE ALL button
restart PC
when you boot up you get a popup saying you ahve used the MS config utility, place check mark in box and click OK
next open the internet and download
Windows Installer CleanUp Utilityinstall program and run it, in the list find anything blackberry, roxio, research in motion, or installer related. remove them
next we are going to perform a clean uninstall of DTM
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB02206&sliceId=1&docTy...
anywhere in the DOC, if it tells you to delete research in motion, also delete roxio if you see it.
then you can go back to MSCONFIG and put your startup and services back to the way they were
then get the latest desktop manager 5.0, if you dont plan on using media manager, dont install it, its a resource hog

What is the problem with Roxio Media Manager??

I purchased my first Blackberry 8310 Curve on Black Friday. For some reason the Blackberry Desktop Manager installs and works absolutely fine. However when I open the media manager from Roxio the screen freezes and it doesn't even show my device. I have uninstalled cleanly and re-installed over a dozen times and can't get it to work. We also went and bought an updated graphics and sound card and have installed them. The Roxio media manager STILL freezes up and we have to shut it down.
I do a lot of Paintshop Pro and have those programs as well as other graphics software. I'm wondering if it is a software conflict? I don't see one. Or if the Roxio is a POS as someone posted before.
I have spent hours and hours reading everything I can online about it and can not find an answer anywhere. The main reason that I want the Media Manager is that I want to make my own ringtones....that's it! The rest I can do without it. Does the BB media manager have the capability to make ringtones?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Problem with Roxio Media Manager - Desparate for an answer

In order to get my Roxio Media Manager to work. Do I need to have access to the browser on my BB8300 Curve. I am not subscribing to the internet on my BB but I do on my computer. Could that be the reason why my Media manager is not working properly? I am desparate for an answer since I have photos on my Blackberry that I need edit and and sent off. What good is the camera if I can't take the photos off of it? I have tried uninstalling the software and then re-installing it. I still can't get the Media Manager to appear in Roxio. The one time I did get it to work, I start getting Runtime errors when I tried to bring up Media manager. Please help..All the rest of the icons..back/up, synch, etc is appearing..just can't get the Roxio Media manager to appear now.

Do you have a media card in your BlackBerry? If so, plug your BlackBerry in and enable Mass Storage Mode. Then just access the memory card from Windows Explorer. For what you want to do Roxio is overkill, and complicated.

Vista slow when Roxio Media Manager installed
