I just had to change C drives and reinstalled Acid 5. No problem.
I then went to update to 5.0 c and the installation stalls at the very end (progress meter almost finishes). After waiting several minutes
(15 plus) I ctrl alt del to end and then a dialog box comes up and says Media Manger Installation Complete. I then bring up Acid 5.0
(it says v5.0c) and it asks for SN #. I put it in and get a Dialog Box that says <error occurred intilizing Media Manager. This feature is unavailable. Media Manager Initialization Failed> The program then comes up and works. I have tried this three times and removed the program (with Add/Remove Programs) before each install. Any idea how to solve this problem. I have no problem with Vegas 6.0d and DVDA 3.0c. I am having problems getting CDA 5 to update to CDA 5.2 (won't take my 5.0 SN). Thank you in advance for any help.

if you don't use the Media Manager you can simply disable it in the preferences (General tab).
if you do want to use MM then you might want to check if the SQLAgent$SONY_MEDIAMGR service is running. if you don't know how to manage services in windows it's probably best to have somebody knowledgable about this look at it.
