Beware of using the nero update facility to upgrade your software to the latest version! I always make a backup before using the update facilityin case of problems. Last night I tried to update without success. The updates failed after numerous tries. This then caused my computer to slow right down, taking up to one hour to reboot after closing down my computerafter the failed install.( This happened on one of the previous updates as well causing me to install a computer backup)
Last night after a computer restore I then tried to remove the existing Nero software with the Nero7 cleantool without success.
Eventually It took me 1.5 hours to manually remove as many of the Nero entries in the registry as I could.
Needless to say I have now given up on Nero 7 after persevering with the trials and tribulations this software has caused me since it was introduced last year.
Life is too short to have to be bothered with software like this.
Why cannot Nero introduce their own version of Nero Lite ? This is about 38 megabytes and seems to contain all the necessary items to make it a really interesting piece of software. Also If Nero reverted to the simple downloads they used to provide this would negate any need for the flaky download setup they now provide.
With the cleantool they provide not working I am also doubtfull as to whether I could install Nero 7.5.1 even if I wanted to!
