Vista Upgrade - Sonic Solutions DLA Prob.

[Lyle Giles]

I have just just upgraded from XP Pro to Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba P100
Notebook. I used the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor & followed the
instructions & downloaded hardware & software Vista drivers & all went well
except for the following:-
When PC started I get a 'driver is blocked ' notice. It is for the Sonic
Solutions DLA. It is tied up with DVD programs I believe? I decided I didn't
need it & attempted to uninstall it via the control panel. It wouldn't
uninstall so I tried to manually uninstall by deleting the program files in
Windows Explorer. Still no joy.
On checking using Google & various websites (inc. Roxio who it would seem to
be the Sonic Solutions owners now) & using the info. from FAQs inc. patches
I cannot fix it.
Has anyone got a suggestion as to how to get rid of it?

Merely deleting files and folders won't work. There are still
registry entries to contend with, and .dll files and other types
scattered throughout the Windows directory.

You might go to into the registry and delete every entry that points
to it. Probably not a small task.
