Every time I put a disk in, the Nero show time starts up. How do I turn that off? It's making me crabby. Plus I cannot see that it even functions properly: the inserted disk's title screen will come up but the play button would not activate playback.
When you installed Nero onto your PC you gave Nero permission to be the default player for DVDs. Nero is probably opening up all kinds of different things. Like mpeg, avi and so forth. So what you need to do is reset that stuff. This is how I do it. I'm assuming WinXP as your OS. Start > Control Panel > Switch to Classic View > Folder Options OR Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Folder Options Select the "File Types" tab. Let the list load. Scroll down to "DVD" then click to highlight. Below the list, find "Opens With:" press the Change button and change it to a different program. That should do it. You may want to scroll down and see what programs open other various file types.
I'm lost. Didn't find any dvd stuff in Windows 98SE. Would a reinstall work with doing the options more carefully? I don't recall giving Nero control over everything at last install. Plus I don't want to change the program I want the function turned off. What I did see a lot of is file types from Divx. _That_ may be what's taking over things. I never use these viewers much so all this is just a new headache. Thanks for the reply.
A reinstall may work. Select the "Custom" installation when it gets to that point. That should bring up the options for you to choose.
There is no custom install for Nero. Where did you see something like that? I'm noticing some other problems with this 6.6.0.12 (whatevs) version as well: it doesn't want to read a disk to disk copy correctly and Nero Vision Express failed to complete an .avi file I had done previously. The media (dvd) used showed a 94 on the CD Speed test.
That's Lon I tell ya, I had the 6.6.0.18 but Nero Vision hung up on an avi file from p2p that I had successfully transferred previously under the new prog (6.6.4.0 whatevs.) I did not download the Nero Showtime and I wanted to clear that out permanently using the clean tool. What special instructions are needed to do this?
@Lon Most people will tell you to uninstall nero and run a clean tool. I just installed 6.6.0.18 over 6.6.1.4. Installer told me I was doing it and allowed me to. I have had no issues since doing it. http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe
Well I have both installers on my desktop now. I am making a new thread for a new topic which is an Error 16: no adapter message. ASPI cannot be found. I have no idea how this happened. I finally found where in the install you can turn off programs starting up with a disk. It still does it. Fortunately I have a backup drive I made before all this stuff started. Nero Vision Express 3 looks different than what I have seen before. It is not grabbing the .avi file I want to burn. So more problems than before.
