Thanks for your suggestions and help, John, but since I need the functionality of InCD to go with my OS backup software (until they release their own packet writing componant), I will use v7.0.1.4b since InCD works fine there.
@johnl123 When you run the registry checker, should you not get some visual feedback that it is running, finished, or whatever. I let it run for hours with no visable change on the screen. I looked in the windows task manager and it showed the registry checker in a "running" status. After running all the clean tools you suggested, I then run the clean_7 version and it still gives an error message. Is that just a bad executable? Should I just go ahead and install ver 7.0.8.2 in spite of the error message indicating there is still an "incompatible version found"?
grod49 The registry checker should provide some feed back if a problem was found and rather quickly, if not you should manually close it. Taken from the nero site reguarding the reg tool: ********************************************************************* Run Driver-CleanTool.exe by double-clicking it. Driver CleanTool will remove all drivers and registry entries. Confirm the deactivation of the drivers displayed in order to prevent known driver conflicts from reoccurring in the future. These drivers also exist with values in the Windows NT, 2000 and XP registries. In order to confirm that these drivers are deactivated, you will need to run the RegistryChecker file. ********************************************************************* The general cleantool for nero 7 should run without producing any errors for it to of done it's job correctly and then prompt for a reboot. You can get a fresh download here, and try it again. http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/General_CleanTool.html Do not try and install version 7.0.8.2 untill the clean tool does it's job correctly first. Are you trying to install version 7.0.1.4b or 7.0.8.2 ? I thought you were going to stick to 7.0.1.4b. Note: When installing or even uninstalling software, I recommend you disconnect from the internet and disable any antivirus programs.
@johnl123 John, I used the download link for the clean tool and made sure that all antivirus and firewall software was turned off. I re-installed the newest version. Version 7.0.5.4b is no longer available, or I should say that all of the links are no longer active. After re-installing I ran the speed test. I got an error message "Nero cd-dvd speed test, error, "logical block address out of range (052100)" I wonder if I am going to have to re-install winxp pro after manual cleaning up the registry. Maybe I deleted something in error. I dont know, I am sooooo frustrated with Nero 7. Do you think the error message is an indication that I need to re-install the opering system?
@johnl123 Oops! Sorry for not searching the site before asking you about the "logical block..."error message! I tried some different media and did not get any error messages. I still could not run the clean tool_7 file without an error message stating that there was an incompatible version on my computer. I used clean tool 5, clean tool 6, and clean tool general and none of them found anything to remove. Should I just not worry about that?
