Driver Blocked Due to Compatibility Issues

Feb 8, 2007 1:09AM PST

My new Vista program is possessed with a demon file that I cannot get rid of regardless of numerous attempts.

On start-up a window entitled ?Program Compatibility Assistant? appears with the following message:
This driver is blocked due to compatibility issues.

The driver identified is: ?Driver: Sonic Solutions DLA?

What is worse is that this window keeps popping up frequently as I attempt to work. (?Yes, I know you?re there; just leave me alone? is my response.)

I have tried to remove this offending driver through the Vista remove programs process without success. It apparently was installed by DELL on my computer at the factory along with other files associated with Sonic Solutions? Roxio Creator ? My DVD Combo.

I do not use the program.

Every time Vista loads, this annoying pop-up window appears with the message that the driver is blocked due to incompatibility issues. No help is available on line when one selects the ?Check for solutions online? option. The answer given is that ?Windows will notify you when solutions become available.? The first thought is that this solution will appear along about the time donkeys fly.

Is there a way to remove this file?

Thank you.

Two things...
Apr 26, 2007 5:28AM PDT

First, you'll want to create a new thread/discussion for your question since it's lost in this discussion concerning drivers.

Second, include as many details as possible, such as what, if anything, happens when you type pogo.com into the address bar and what browser you are using.

DLA sonic solutions patch
Mar 22, 2007 2:29PM PDT

I have downloaded the patch but it never gets to the install point. I have tryed again and again and it just tells me the exe file has "stopped". I have a DELL inspiron 640m so it should work right. Is there anyway of finding where this exe file is on my computer or should I just try the 2nd option and try and remove the driver for sonic solutions?

THANK YOU
Mar 25, 2007 9:24AM PDT

I just want to thank you for the help this does work and I am so thnkful because I was half scared to do anything because it stated to move one off and install the other. I was so afaid I would mess up. With the help of others it works.. I had the same problem when I got the new vista program on a dell computer also. Not so sure about this program tho. I do not think it is what all it is to be and is alot of reading to learn more and more things are differant and I guess I just like to get on the computer and take off instead of haveing to figure out what is going on. They do not give you no book but have to look up on help and if you do not type the right thing well on and on you are reading and trying to solve.. here you helped me when I could not solve in a week I just read and called and here I am you helped solved the problem. Guess I will come here first . Again thanks..
