Maybe a little more information will help. When I try to install the program I get an "Uninstaller Failed to initialize" message. Does anyone have any suggestions. Richd

I have been using Musicmatch Jukebox for years and really like it's simplicity. After installing some Microsoft updates, I have winXP Pro with ser. pack 2, Musicmatch failed to work. So I deleted it and tried to install new. While installing I get a message that the Installation utility has...

Thanks for the quick replies. I have already tried most of what you have suggested. I have trie other drives and other cables. I have set the bios to seek and not seek. Most of the time I have the drive not enabled in the bios so it is inoperative all the time. The cable is in correctly...
