    I'm having serious trouble with Nero. I used it in the past but since I replaced my hard drive and reinstalled Nero, I'm having zero luck. Everytime I try and open Nero it just hangs and will not close unless I reboot.

    Is anyone aware of Nero conflicting with any software out there? Or are there any other suggestions you may have? I've uninstalled it and installed it about 4 times now.

    Help!!

    Thanks for your reply Pete.

    I wish I could tell you I'm getting an error message but I'm not getting anything at all. The Nero Burning Rom window opens with the Nero title over top, boom...that's it. I don't get the opportunity to hit the demo button, put in a serial number or anything.

    I'm only trying to back up some DVD's with files already compressed with Shrink.

    On this Compaq Presario S4040SE, even on a factory image, Nero does have a conflict with all versions 2003 and 2004 of Norton AntiVirus's AutoProtect. If loaded, Nero will "freeze" at least 1 in 5 times, when trying to write a hard disk image. If NAV AP is not loaded, Nero will write the images all the time. However, it is only with revisions greater than 6.0.0.15 Patch 5203. That version and all previous versions through 5.0 worked on this machine and an older Micron PC.

    Bruinguy,

    As was mentioned, kill off Easy CD Creator, Adaptec or Roxio -

    Unintall Nero, reboot (to really clean it out) - reinstall Nero, reboot (to let it settle) and give it a try again :)

    Let me know how you make out :D

    Pete

    I just suggest getting a new version. I had 6. something and it kept crashing everytime i tried it. They're always getting updates with plug-ins. I just got a copy of the latest 6.3.0 3..and it works perfectly..

    Ok, thanks to all for the info. I've cleaned it out totally, rebooted, downloaded Nero 6.3.0.3, reinstalled, rebooted attempted to open Nero Burning ROM and the Nero window opens, the full colour title screen shows and at the bottom it says:

    "Scanning SCSI/IDE bus, please wait"

    That's it...hangs right up. I can't open Internet Explorer, can't shut down Nero. The only way I can do anything again is to reboot using the reset button on the PC.

    Does this help anyone with a solution for me????? I want my Nero back!!

    BTW, someone mentioned issue with Norton, I'm using McAfee 7.00.5. Any ideas?

    Are there any errors in your event logs?

    Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer

    I'm talking about the logs that Windows has to record application, system and security events. There may be a clue in here.

    The "Clue" is the freeze - the 2 programs I sent him should set him right up :p

    Well, I appreciate all of your help, I've downloaded and ran the cleaning utiities that were suggested. I've rebooted, downloaded Nero again and still hangs.

    I'm at the point of looking for an alternative to Nero. I love Nero but I'm sure you can appreciate my frustration now. Any ideas???

    If it's any help, here are shots of my startup from msconfig

    (tried to paste images)

    I'm hoping that this works. If not, I'll type it out manually.

    Okay, that didn't work...here are the files in my startup:

    NvCpl
    nwiz
    tfswctrl
    DVDBitset
    DVDTray
    sstray
    RunDll16
    Winampa
    LVCOMS
    ISStart
    LogiTray
    jusched
    zlclient
    qttask
    NeroCheck
    NVMCTRAY
    RuLaunch
    Logitech Desktop Messenger

    Anything stand out as a problem???
