Sonic Solutions DLA Blocked Driver

I ran across an annoying issue when updating an machine to Server 2008 (Vista based).  After the upgrade on login I continously got a message about a driver Sonic Solutions DLA driver being blocked because it is not compatible.  Apparently this driver is responsible for the drag to disk feature of Roxio 9 Easy Medica Creator Center.  The problem is that if you uninstalled this program the uninstaller fails to remove this driver and to find in registry will likely leave you frustrated.

 

Roxio released a patch to fix this Driver but if you have already uninstalled the program this patch does not work.  After searching through forums I have found the installer itself for just the Drag to Disc feature which will update the driver to Vista/Win 7 compatibility and can also be used to then uninstall if you choose.

This is a direct link to Roxio’s site.¬¨‚Ć This installer will install a newer version of Drag to Disk and does not require any version of Roxio to be installed.¬¨‚Ć This installer can also then be used to do an uninstall.

If you have trouble with the link above here is the file in zip format.

d2d3290 (zip version) (Roxio Drag to Disk Installer / Uninstaller)

 

Roxio had released this link http://www.roxio.com/enu/support/vista/d2d_update.html previously but this patch only works if you have Easy Media Creator currently installed.  In my case this was worthless as the Driver was left over from a previous uninstaller that did not fully remove it.
