cannot activate mpeg-2 codec for Roxio Media Creator 9

[sprinter1955]

I am running Windows XP and cannot activate mpeg-2 codec for Roxio Media Creator 9, for the final activation. Anyone familiar with this? THX for any help. Roxio has no more support for this software.

Have you tried the manual Activation instructions that was given on the support site itself, if not then follow the below method:

1. Close Easy Media Creator 9.
2. Disconnect your computer from the internet. The easiest way is to turn off your modem or disconnect the cable from the back of your computer.
3. Re-launch Easy Media Creator 9 and the application that needs to be activated.
4. Activation will fail, but this time, choose to Activate Offline.
5. In the Offline Product Activation window, copy the 25 Digit product key listed in orange. Do not close this window.
6. Turn on your modem or reconnect to the internet.
7. Go to http://activation.roxio.com/activateme and follow the on-screen instructions. This will generate an Activation Code that you must copy.
8. Go back to the Offline Product Activation window and enter the Activation Code into the boxes.

THX for the info but I and other forum members have tried this and the 25 digit # never is shown just a plain box. I will try again .
