To all having problems with Nero7 --- there is a new update called Version 7.0.1.4b ((Nero-7.0.1.4b_eng_no_yt.exe)) available for download here:- http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/nero7-up.php I had problems -- even had uninstalled Version 7.0.1.4 -- with this update it seems ok now after I uninstalled with the Nero 7 cleantool for version 7 here: -http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_Clean_Tool.html then re-installing fresh this latest one! You all have a Good New Year !
I'm having a slightly different problem - with the latest upgrade. I've tried the versions with only English and all languages and the versions with and without Yahoo toolbar. Each time I try to install the installer hangs when trying to remove the backup files - it gets all the way to the end of the green bar and sticks. Each time this has happened I have had to use the clean utility and then try and install again. But no luck so far. If I try to remove or repair or modify the install without using the Clean utility I get a message telling me to complete the previous installation - but I can't find any way of doing that. So far no help from Nero. I've revertyed to nero 6 and will cancel my credit card purchase if they can't fix it.
That sounds like more of a problrm with msi then with nero. Have you updated the software installer from microsoft lately?
If 7.0.12 is working for you I dont see any advantages yet. It just seems to be more bug fixes. If you have not ran into any bugs yet then you might want to stay where you are until a major update is released.
Version 7.0.1.2 is the original version that has been updated twice so far .. just to give you an example of what bugs there was in ONE application .... namely Nero Nurning Rom -- here's a quote from Nero website :- Burning ROM 7 - Release Notes Current Version Number: 7.0.1.4 [bold]Changes in Nero Burning ROM 7.0.1.4 from Nero Burning ROM 7.0.1.2 Version Number: 7.0.1.4 Release Date: December 12, 2005 Changes/Bugfixes The application was only running in English or the system language and could not be changed correctly After switching the language the tool bar was empty When switching from Nero Express to Nero Burning ROM, Nero Burning ROM terminates with an error message during startup When one file was marked to be removed from a Nero Express compilation, all remaining files were removed Some links to Nero online services led to a wrong or non-existing web page On some systems Nero Burning ROM could not run and terminated with an error message Improved localization quality An internal error occurred when adding data files to a VCD compilation Under some circumstances it appeared that no compilation icons were visible in Nero Burning ROM Fixed several crash or hanging problems Windows XP autoplay handling was not working correctly The menu item for entering a new serial number key in Nero Express was not working An internal error occurred when selecting "Generate Playlist" before encoding audio tracks When aborting the "Add File" process, the selected files were still added to the compilation *.txt files were associated with Nero Burning ROM The "Save Tracks" feature caused the application to crash[/bold] and in Nero HOME [bold]Version Number: 1.0.1.9 Release Date: December 12, 2005 from Version Number 1.0.1.5 Changes/Bugfixes In rare conditions, Nero Home hung under Windows ME if an audio CD was inserted Sometimes a freeze occurred if a device was accessed It was not possible to continue video playback after stopping in fullscreen/minimized mode The application asked for a serial number, even of one was already present Improved usability In some cases the application froze when a *.mp3 file was playing The "Edit Collection" feature in slide shows did not work correctly The virtual keyboard was not available in "Save Collection" Move up/Move down keys did not work in collections Fast forward and rewind status was not displayed for slide shows The images on the start page were sometimes not displayed Not all new created playlists were saved under "All playlists" A playlist with Video, Audio, Photos, failed to play the audio Added "Editable playlists" which allow items to be edited/removed Loading saved playlists was not working correctly The visualization still played in the background while a video/picture is displayed When playing back audio and turning on visualization, the effects were not related to the actual audio output Improved respond time for user actions and browsing through folders/files The "Back" button went back two levels Removing an audio CD during playback crashed the application SPDIF output was not working for DVD-Video playback Setting the right video format (PAL,NTSC) before playback was not working correctly The correct TV format (PAL, NTSC) is now set before searching for channels The item being played was not shown in the current playlist for the skin "Spin" Improved support for HCW format A wrong message was shown if regional code settings/requirements did not match After switching back from minimized playback to normal view no picture was visible The previous/next buttons were not working for slide shows The application froze when trying to play *.wma files streamed from a Nero MediaHome server The search for a TV channel in the TV wizard failed with UPMOST MPB-101 The TV wizard crashed after clickng on the finish button (under WIN98SE only) TV playback without timeshift did not work with Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP Expert Fixed several crash or hanging problems Improved localization quality[/bold] Now that explains most of the problems people have been having with this software -- AND I am still having more problems -- Grrrr ! Going back to Nero 6 again.. till they fix that Version 7 for good.
I have been using Nero 6.6.0.18 with no problems, all I hear about with the new 7 series is bugs and fixes and massive downloads. I wouldn't ipgrade unless I saw something in the change log that I couldn't live without.
@ALAND - hey there stranger, hope your Xmas was merry. i can't find a changelog for 7.0.1.4b yet, so dunno what Nero have been cooking for this one. @Jeanc1 - thread title edited for you, though i think you can do this yourself, there should be an icon for this
I've been using nero7 fine then I tried to update and now it won't even open the 'smartstart' menu. I get an error message telling me no 'skin' found?! I've tried re-installing nero but still no luck. I think it may be that a vital file has been deleted of my pc as divx comes up with the same error. Any ideas (this is like rocket science to me)? katy x
