This is driving me nuts!!! I have XP SP2 P4 1 gig RAM Recently for some reason some components of Nero 8 Ultra won't load. They just stopped loading I get the splash screen 2 secs and then nothing. No processes running either The ones that won't load are sound related WaveEditor Soundtrax Showtime I have uninstalled twice, cleaned everything out with the Nero General Clean Tool twice and reinstalled twice. All I can think is some windows upgrade or other upgrade has killed something that Nero hooks into. Any help gratefully received PS I have GOM installed and WinAmp
Thanks for replying Yes I am using the latest version. Its getting even nuttier. I ran process explorer-sysinternals and then ran showtime. It loaded!!!! though it took a lot of CPU time 45% when running (not showing or playing anything) Haven't been able to run it again!!! even though I tried to recreate the same environment. Nero have responded to an email and I ran their diagnostic tool and sent the info back to them so I am waiting to hear.
Its working OK now. Not sure how but as I was without a wave editor I donwloaded and installed some free ones Audacity3 and WAVE MP3 editor. I also loaded the k-lite codec pack which found some nero links that were wrong- missing files- and deleted the registry keys to them. I then ran Nero Wave editor but it didn't run. I then uninstalled -yet again- NEro and reinstalled and now it works OK!!!
