Greetings all, Ok, here is the sad story… In the tread I started (please, see http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/573683 ) I was wondering what was that update for 7.10.1.0. ? I interrupted auto-update because of slow download. Next day I tried to append some data to Verbatim CDs I used many times (photos archives & stuff). As soon as Create Data CD was chosen the computer froze – no keyboard/no mouse. Only Reset helps. It was replicable. The only difference was that sometimes (3 of ~9) attempts Nero could read Disks but then would choke at the beginning of writing. Suspecting that canceled download broke something I went through AutoUpdate again. Silly me! This time v7.10.1.2 was "successfully" installed (forget about all media associations were hijacked again!). But the worth thing – I could not write Multisession CDs. Several Clean reinstalls (using Nero’s Tool) of 7.10.1.0 was performed to no avail. Nero burning capability – gone! Any suggestions, Guys? And why in Hell there is no v7.10.1.2 to download from Nero? Anyway, I can blame only myself. Can I remember that AutoUpdate never worked properly? No! Thanks in advance for ideas. My regards P.S. Just before posting I downloaded CDBurnerXP 4.0.015.277 and tested with the same CDs. 1- Working s m o o th! 2- Only 5.71MB of Software. Have to test all aspects but first impression – very good, if not more. Thanks
The latest version I see on FileHippo.com is 7.10.1.0 FileHippo and the same over at Nero. Nero 7.10.1.0 Not sure where you found 7.10.1.0
Hi blivetNC, Yes 7.10.1.0 that's what I had and that's what is out there, as you pointed. and that's what I reinstalled back but with the described bad result. the 7.10.1.2 came when "Check for Updates" button was pressed and it broke everything here. So, I am not sure why you are asking where I found 7.10.1.0? Cheers
Hi blivetNC, It's Ok I believe that I am not special enough, so it was just me who may check the "Auto"-Update and receive it... but I would Not advise to do that after what happened here. In addition I couldn't find any change log of the updates' content. Another thing I remember that you will get a desktop icon "UpGrade to Nero 8". Yes! Like ... I will do that immediately ... because neither 7.10.1.2 nor 7.10.1.0 are able to burn anymore ... Sigh! Cheers P.S. I did try some other functions of mentioned and working CDBurnerXP - - Very Good indeed! my regards
Save your money, Nero 8 is not any greater than Nero 7, and you'll have the same problems. Post your Nero Burn Log and we'll see what is up.
blivetNC, Thanks for reply. I thought that I expressed the irony, rather sarcasm mentioning #8 in context with "buying". Probably, it is my English made it unclear ... but sure: I am not going to Upgrade. No. I do appreciate your invitation to post log-file. I am not sure if it was created when freezing occurred. I will do the experiment later... have some urgent things to do now "without pressing Reset" and subsequent invitation to disk-check Would it be NeroHistory.log one that usually located in C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Ahead\Nero Burning ROM ? My regards
