Error message when you try to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista: "You must first uninstall Sonic DLA"
When you try to upgrade a computer from Microsoft Windows XP to Windows Vista, you receive the following error message in the compatibility report, and you cannot upgrade Windows:
You must first uninstall Sonic DLA
Note This problem occurs even though you do not have Sonic DLA installed. This problem also occurs even though Sonic DLA does not appear when you double-click the Add or Remove Programs item in Control Panel.

- In Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
