Then you'll have to wait until Roxio comes up with a way to uninstall it. A
quick search shows many people with this problem and no answers other than
completely uninstalling Roxio usually but not always uninstalls Backup MyPC.
My recommendation would be to do a clean install of Vista then reinstall
your programs and restore your data from a backup. If you don't want to go
this way then make sure you have a good verified backup and you know how to
restore it before attempting the upgrade.
