I just finished correcting the Sonic Update Manager missing CDrom problem on my Dell by removing the the Roxio CD-DVD Copying Software that I never use, when I was presented with the Sonic Activation Module missing CDrom problem so I uninstalled the Sonic from ControlPanel\Add-Delete programs and Program Files and I uninstalled the Installshield software entirely and scrubbed the registry of all the leftovers (nearly 200 broken keys). So now all of it is gone and the error messages no longer appear.
My Questions are: Should I reinstall the Installshield software? Is it really shielding me from anything? or just driving software updates for programs on my computer that I may not be using? or does it have other functions i am not aware of?
