i have installed nero 7 premium and most of the features seem to work fine. but the applications that are attached to burning rom and burning rom itself will not open. an error message comes up saying buring rom has to close. i know i can use nero express, but that's not the point. i would like to use the full features of burning rom. can any body help??? footyglen
Nero 7 has alot of bugs, I would jjst go back to Nero 6.6 or whatever was the last one..i am not big fan of this nero...they need to revised the problems in this program edited by ddp
When you DL Nero 7 and go to install it, i selected the custom setup and made sure Nero burning rom was selected and installed. Each option had a tab with a pulldown that said don't install, install, and install with subfolders or something like that. Maybe your express install didn't put the burning rom in there?
To add to what maxburn said. I dont know what build of 7 you are instaling. Some older builds and maybe even the latest had a problem with rom not starting because of the script (force reboot) the msi was or is runing after install. So when you install and when it gets to the point saying you need to reboot the system. Cancel it from rebooting at that point. You can restart the computer yourself in a bit after it is finished.
thanks guys for your quick response. i've been waiting 14 days for a response from nero. the version i have is the retail version. i have also tried to custom install as well with no luck. the reboot idea from whompus sounds interesting and i'll give it a go. thanks so much again and happy new year!
I also recall reading about bugs in the early releases. Especially one where once you have run Nero Express you can no longer access Nero Burning ROM. Sound familiar? I'm assuming that has been fixed but there seems to be enough bugs still to stop me upgrading from v6.6 yet. When version 6 was in it's early builds I encountered a bug which I reported to Ahead. They denied there was a problem but the next build's changelog mentioned fixing the bug I complained about. I like Nero and use it a lot but I think the paying customers are the real beta testers. Good luck.
well, i've tried the reboot and still nothing. when i've reinstalled the program, i've tried to open burning rom straight away without even thinking about express, and still nothing. looks like i'm back at square 1 and $130 down the drain. there's gotta be someone out there that can crack this one? thanks to all who replied.
I have heard that if you have nero express on the machine ie the serial number, it will not give you nero burning rom. At least it was that way with my OEM vers 6. Every upgrade left me with nero express only. I upgraded to Nero 7 Ultra, and did as i said in above post, and it is here now. Also i can select which program to use as shown below, i selected Burning ROM, and these are the options when i selected to burn an audio cd. You have to look off to the left at this box and change settings, before you click on the "Make Audio CD" tab. Here is what i have found. I had nero 6 before, and only had nero express serial number, and had no burning rom. Upgraded to Nero 7 Ultra 7.0.1.4b and now i have burning rom. BTW the nero homepage shows Nero 7 for $79.99 download. I paid 69.something as i was upgrading from version 6 and they gave me a small discount. I have used nero express, and burning rom in version 7. (i read in some other thread that once you selected nero express, burning rom would disappear, but that didn't happen to me) I have seen lots of post of bugs with nero 7, but the version i have seems to be stable so far.
I have an OEM verion 6.... that came with a new DVD burner I recently purchased... I was looking at upgrading to version 7 online last night and I was asked for a current verion serial number. Where would I find this. It is not printed on the disk. I'm at work now and do not have access... can't remember if I looked in "about" or not???
Here is what nero says about OEM versions: and on a failed install Probably wont help much, but might explain some of it.
@MaxBurn Whoops... Thanks for the info. I found the # and got the upgrade ($55.99) Do you or does anyone know if Nero or any other software allows you to pull a snapshot image from a video on DVD disk?
Your software player app will let you capture snapshot. Powerdvd is what I use. Windvd will also capture snapshot, other player apps should as well.
maxburn, Can u pls tell me how you got the update 7.01.xxx to install? I finally got it to download(no small task). I hit the setup, and files go into a temp folder....the executable i found and hit, says Installing Demo....I terminated it. Do I need to "uninstall" 7.0(which I purchased) before running the update?? Am at my wits end... fyi, I'm also having no luck getting ROM BURN to run at all which is why I'm trying to do this update
samkatz88, Don't worry about that Demo title. It is the real, whole, and complete Nero 7 in there. Once you enter in your paid for serial number, it un-locks all the features not available in the Demo version. Be sure to write down that number, as you will need it. If you already did a partial install, you can use the nero clean tool to do a wipe of the system, then re-download or execute the Nero 7 package. Remember to write down your serial number, or have a print out of the e-mail where they sent you the numbers and enter them in once Nero is installed. This time don't terminate it. Here is the nero clean tool: http://www.nero.com/nero6/enu/General_CleanTool.html Give that a try. Also do the custom setup when it installs, and check to make sure it is installing everything. Each option has a tab, and make sure it says "install" if you want that feature. Give that a try. Hopefully it will work for you. I have read many a horror story on failed Nero 7 installs. I guess i got luckey with my install. BTW, Nero 7 is still working fine for me, no bugs for me seen in this version so far.. I haven't used everything in it, but have used Burning ROM quite a bit for DVDs and CDs. Recode 2 also worked well when i tried it.
thanks maxburn. nero sent me a similar response to yours and it worked. haven't had time to put the s/w thru all it's operations, but everything seems to open ok tx again sam
Great samkatz! Glad we got it going for you. I like Nero. It can be picky, and tempermental, but it does many things very well. And you can usually fix it if things go bad. Those burn logs come in real handy when you have problems.
