@binkie Thanks for making me feel better, I guess I can either live with the bugs or go back to 6. I finally after a week got an email from Nero, all they said was to bundle up the txt from the infotool, which I sent once already and they lost. Love it that they tell me to go to some site and dl the infotool, don't know infotool is already included in the program seems kind of stupid. Bet they find no answers either as there is nothing different or new on the computer between versions. I am gonna try some new program called Registry Smoker, will see what this finds.
@arniebear LOL - now that is too funny - clueless if they don't even know their own product's apps. Don't think they will find the answer - but you never know though. They ticked me off w/ the mp3 audio - 1st it was my pc -no problem on their end. Yeah right - then they claimed to fix it finally w/ 7.2.3.2 after a few more emails. Sorry Charlie - no dice for me w/ that one. New one did it seems but no release notes that I can find. I'm going to try a Regseeker - ever try that one? No problems but like to keep things clean. Keep us posted!
I been using Reg Vac, and now tried the Smoker. Both clean well came up with 88 Nero entries left over from 7 install over 6. Nero sure leave much junk behind. Still the same problem, but it encodes up a storm if I use IMTOO encoder right before and then use Nero. IMTOO has to be the last MRU though you can't open another program after it or Nero won't work. I cannot be the only person in the entire Nero using world that has this problem.
No you can't be the only one Don't have IMTOO so no guess there. Was good to here I'm not the only one Nero was leaving so much crap behind on
when I installed nero 7 and had trouble with it I tried to uninstall and clean it off my PC it screwed all kinds of outher programs I just said h-ll with it I reinstalled XP and started fresh with 6.6.0.18
hi guy's and gals i may be over simplistic <? .if i am, you have my permission to beat me with a big stick or in binkie's case a whipp (i like a good whipping) i've found that no matter what tools i use to uninstall any prog, be it the firms tools...awido...ccleaner...regcleaner etc. they always leave trailers all over the place. the only way i've found after using all the above. is to search files and delete all the rest manually. works for me
I used Nero sweep but it had already done its damage reformat and reinstalled XP worked good no trails just a whole day of reinstalling all my programs yuck !
@gurnard How could anybody beat a sweet guy like you I have done the search and deleted the files, but in the case of doing an uninstall and reinstall of Nero its hard to tell which is an old and which is a new. I did try to uninstall Nero 6 using the Clean Tool, and Nero Reg cleaner and then Reg Vac. Went to nstall 7 and it would not install, it kept yelling about a missing Nero 6 Media Player. I ended up putting 6 back in so it could find the Media Player and delete, anything to make the program happy
Hey gurnard Naughty boy you :0) I try to avoid the regedit if I can - I have to pay more attention when doing that But you are right - always something behind no matter which prog you use. Dang rbrock - what a pain!! Guess you won't be trying Nero 7 again anytime soon Who know 7.5 may be the answer! Would be nice but I kinda doubt it.
@ arniebear hi must admit i haven't tried 7 (mainly because of all the bad reviews) and the 6 i use is more ancient than me. 6.6.0.18 is on the shelf waiting if i should ever need it. most of my stuff is done with Shrink...Decrypter...Anydvd and DivxToDVD "if it aint broke don't fix it" hi binkie X
@gurnard You are right when you start tinkering something always happens, lol. @binkie I hope that 7.5 is the answer, but somehow I doubt it too. Maybe they will get it right by 8 or 9 maybe 10
Personally I gave up on Nero 7.0 and went back to Nero 6.0 a while ago (6.60.1.8) per Binkie's suggestion, this one burns audio cd's great, no skipping or chirping like 7.0 did, Nero Recode seems to work better in 6.0, and it does not have the horrible media scout feature that is residing in 7.0. Thank the Lord I didn't pay anything for the upgrade(BBuy free after rebate special)
They are gonna have to do something with 7 anyway I couldn't get it to work with Windows Beta Vista, although 6 worked fine. Think they ought to go back and look at 6 and see what they missed and did not add to 7.
Yeah I think they are just trying to do way too much with this program. They seem to want to be the end all be all multi purpose media software. Ain't working for them. 7 is not a 'one version works for most users'. It comes down to finding what version works best for you & pc specs. Hassle to figure out @blivetnc Gotta love the rebates - if I would've paid full price or close for 7 I would have been pissed!! @arniebear I think I read where they have yet to work out the compatiblity Vista & 7. edit: grammar
It figures, they will probably release Nero 8 which will only work on Vista and us XP users will be stuck in Nero 7 hell.
Maybe Nero is 'conspiring' w/ Microsoft - one way to get people to use Vista No way in hell I will go near Vista in the near future. Now that will be one buggy os. I can't even imagine the 1st users problems - yikes! Time for me to get on the ball and learn Linux!
I hope I do not regret saying this, but from what ALL I have read on here and other places I think WE all need to boycott Nero. It is such ashame as Nero USED to be one of my favorite programs for burning, ripping etc. Now I just cringe when I see the latest updates of 7 coming out. So, Nero 6.6.0.15 is the ONLY program where I have not updated to their lastest version. Nero may wonder why WE stay where WE are, but I think the message is clear, WE ALL DON'T LIKE Nero 7. Maybe before Nero starts making another update to 7 they really need to consider what they are doing and not doing, and consider how things really worked with 6 and NOT 7.
Well I finally got another email from Nero on my MP3 encoding problems this was their answer........will try it although it does not make sense and report back if it works.
Man I never knew their were so many angry people about this subject I guess I not the only one, I guess I not going crazy (just kidding)but what the hell can we do to fix it
Okay all, I did what the email from Nero stated dl the exact same program I already had installed, then cleaned with the clean tool. Did a reg clean with two different programs after the clean tool and found 2000 leftover reg entries. Did a search on C and found more leftovers, then installed Nero 7 again. And guess what.......the encoder still no workee. This is why I paid Nero the big bucks
