    I was given a computer by a friend of mine for my birthday. Thankfully because i could not afford a newer one. Although it did NOT come to me problem free. I'm very good with computers, some-what advanced but by no means Wiz.
    So this is where i need help.
    Nero 5.5 is worthless to me, it has many startup errors and i just want to uninstall it. So when i goto "remove programs" it asks for the original install disk. Well, this is a computer that was bought at a computer fair - he wasn't given any software discs. Lovely huh? So after several attempts and getting nowhere, file searching and so on I'm at a dead end. Ultimately I need a backdoor way to get rid of this useless program. I'm running Win XP. I'm very good with Win98 and manuevering around - I'm doing ok with manuevering with XP but have alot of learning to do.
    So...who can help? Any would be extremely appreciated

    Hi,

    A down and dirty method would be to boot into safe mode and delete all files/folders associated with Nero and then run RegClean afterwards to clean up the regisry entries.

    It needs the installation disc for certain files that are required to remove it. Follow the link, download your version and then install it completely and when that's finished then uninstall it.
