    I just purchased Nero9 and have Nero7 Essential already on the computer. Can I install Nero9 right over the top of Nero7 or should I try to uninstall Nero7 first. I couldn't find anything on this topic but may have type the search incorrectly. Thanks. Mac

    PS: I sent an email question to Nero support several days ago but haven't gotten an answer yet and got tired of waiting.

    Don't install Nero 9 over Nero 7 - do a clean install. Uninstall Nero 7 - run the clean tool and reboot. Clean Tool.
    Me I then run ccleaner. Nero like other somewhat 'bigger' apps has a tendency to leave a lot behind.
    That step is up to you - I use the cleaner and registry option.
    Then install Nero 9.

    Thank you very much Binkie. Your answer was very clear and detailed. Just what I needed. I know that some programs don't have a problem installing over older versions but other programs just don't like it and can really mess up your computer.

    Thanks again. Mac

    Not a problem Mac. For any version of Nero I upgrade I always do a clean install - minimal problems if any on the different pc's I run Nero on.
