After recently updating to Nero 7.2.7.0 I noticed that when any of the applications are running they are using 98-100% of my processor. I remember having this same issue with Nero 6 and somehow fixed it but I don't remember how I did it. Can anyone help me out with a quick fix?
Did you clean out the remnants of prior versions of Nero using the Clean Tools? The tools are at the Nero site, separate versions for Nero 6 and Nero 7 removal. Then try reinstalling from scratch, making note of your registration key.
What version of NEro 7 do you have also - becos they're are a few unstable versions... EDIT: Nero 7.0.8.2 is the MOST stable verison...found here... http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?845 Also I just use Version 6 cos it's much more stable and doesn't fill your PC up with all the extra crap it comes with. And then I d/l'ed Info Tool and all the other worthwhile tools that come with nero 7 from Afterdawn. I recommened this as a new Nero setup... Nero 6 Burning ROM - Use your head Nero 6 Express - " Nero Info Tool - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/nero_info_tool.cfm Nero Cd Speed - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/nero_cd_speed.cfm
Had a problem with StartSmart hanging with 99%CPU usage, but the applications themselves were OK. Can you post the taskname(s) from Task Manager that are running 98-100% ? Do you have Scout enabled?
