I must have somehow deleted some registries for my Roxio program as I am not
able to copy discs. I think I know which registries that are not working
properly. These are the registries
MSDXMLC.DLL
MSXML2R.DLL
MSXML3R.DLL
MSXMLR.Dll
Can I reregister these? If so, how do I go about doing it?
Very new to the computer and must have made some sort of mistake. Any help
is appreciated!
Thanks,

There's a degree of confusion here - you want to reregister registries that
you've deleted? The files you list are library files, usually just referred
to as DLLs. If you've deleted them, you can't register, re-register or do
anything with them!

Why do you think it's these files in particular? And, to prevent recurrence,
do you have any idea *how* they got deleted?

I'd submit that a better course of action would simply be to reinstall your
Roxio program.
 
I can't reinstall the Roxio software. It can on my computer 2 years ago and I
did not get a disc for it. Like I said I am still very new to compute use and
I think I might have deleted these files running a registry clean up (free
scan) which I thought I need to do and have since found out I shouldn't be
doing it! When I check my McAfee systems guard log, it says a one time change
has been allowed on your computer and states the following:
Rule Type: Registry
Process: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Sonic Shared\Sonic
Central\Main\Mediahub.exe
Process Version: 2.04.32
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\explorer\BackupNoCDBurning
Does this mean anything?
Roxio suggested that I just upgrade to a newer version, but all I really
want to do with it is copy a CD or two and not much more.
Thanks for your help,

If the registry cleaning tool you used had a backup/restore function, now's
the time to use it - see if whatever it did can be reversed. Or try using
System Restore to go back to a time just before you unleashed this registry
tool.

Maybe approach wherever you got the PC from and see if they'll let you have
a Roxio CD now. (An unlikely route, but worth a shot.)

Check whether these DLL files are actually *missing* - DLLs are usually in
C:\Windows\System32 but may also be in your Roxio program directory. (You
may have to enable "all files" to be seen in Windows Explorer in order to
find them.) I don't see any reason why a *registry* cleaning tool should
remove DLL files.

Again, what makes you think it's these files in particular that are missing?
Are you getting an error message? If so, please quote it in full.

If they ARE missing, see if you've got copies of them somewhere else on your
PC - maybe search your dllcache folder in C:\Windows\system32\ or in i386.
(Or maybe even download them from a reliable source.) If you have them, you
might be able to put copies back in C:\Windows\system32.

Whichever way you might find them, you could try to register them:

Start > Run > regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\filename.dll

one by one, or

Start > Run > regsvr32 "c:\Program Files\Roxio
somethingorother\filename.dll"

or wherever the files are. (Note - if there are spaces in what you need to
put after "regsvr32", you will need to enclose it in quotes, as I have
above) This may well not work - who knows what else the registry "cleaner"
did to your system? Furthermore, you may have issues with different versions
of the DLLs floating around.

Alternatively, as it's just for light use and you don't seem to need all the
other functionality of your Roxio program, look for free CD copying
software:

http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/gmm/fwcdburn.html

or elsewhere.

Not entirely sure, but I don't think the McAfee log is anything to worry
about. It allowed the change - other people have had it blocked by
anti-malware programs and lost CD/DVD functionality (Google
"backupnocdburning").

Another thought - try going to www.dell.com, Support & Help, Drivers &
Downloads and plug in your system's Service Tag. They tie their version of
the product to Dell motherboards, so it's just possible there's a download
for Roxio there.
