Hello bwatson. Try downloading the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility at
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/29031. It will show you all the programs on
your computer and may give you a better chance of uninstalling it than,
perhaps having to make changes to the registry which is what apparently some
fellow at Roxio forums was advocating for a clean install of Roxio. I don't
know, barely working my way around Windows Media Player, but hope the link
helps
