    Annoying Message!!!
    « on: February 06, 2010, 12:14:25 PM »
    I am not much of a CPU guy.  I have a Dell Latitude E6500 and about a week ago I started getting this message regarding Roxio Update Manager that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available.    Click ok to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'UM.MSI' in the box below"   It has a drop down menu, but when I hit ok it gives me a message "The path..........cannot be found.    This wont go away and I can't cancel it.  It comes up anytime I start or do anything.   Can any of you folks help me?   Thanks and have a good one!

    The original installation may have been made from an external HDD or thumb drive and it's looking to the original location for a missing component...
    A re-install of Roxio should cure this right off...

    Download Autoruns for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    No installation required.
    Simply unzip Autoruns.zip file, and double click on autoruns.exe file to run the program.
    Go File>Save, and save it as AutoRuns.txt file to know location.
    You must select Text from drop-down menu as a file type:



    Attach the file to your next reply.

    I understand. Probably running as a startup, so probably we can disable it.
