Vista Home Basic ****es Me Off

Hello all,

I had already uninstalled Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 Basic DVD Edition along
with Acronis Disk Director Suite. Then, while I was uninstalling Acronis
Disk Director Server v10 the uninstaller needed to reboot. Upon reboot Vista
said it was unable to complete the reboot process then said it needed to
check some files. Vista then said it needed to do a system restore which I
allowed it to do.

Vista restarted ok but the programs I had uninstalled earlier have
reappeared in the list of installed programs. Each time Vista starts up
Roxio Easy Media Creator gives me the following two error messages:

Unable to find a certificate file.

There was a problem authenticating your version. Please make sure
your system is set to the current date.

If I try to reinstall Roxio I get the message above. If I try to uninstall
Roxio I get the same message above. If I try to just delete the Roxio folder
I still get the message above. Currently, I can't do a dam thing about Roxio
so I'm stuck. Same thing with the other programs that were once uninstalled
but have now reappeared in the list of installed programs.

So, do any Vista experts have a solution to this blunder.

So why are you messing with Vista when Ubuntu does everything you want it to
do?

Probably a desperate attempt at getting some credibility here?

Do a System Restore from before you installed them?

Might wanna change your name from Alias, people think you are someone else.

I don't think this is the same Alias.

Advice you should take yourself. It seems that Zero is available. It
would more accurately reflect your value to this newsgroup.
