Nero burning software

**sunrise** · December 17th, 2007, 12:09 AM

I've just tried to install Nero 6.6 on my Vista Computer but windows tells me there are compatibility problems. So I went to the website to see if there are any updates I could download to solve this problem, but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know of any updates I could get? Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You'll need Version 7.5 or higher for Vista compatability.

Even though some sources nominate 7.5, that seems to be the minimum where Vista compatability started, and v7.7.5.1 was the first considered fully Vista compatable.

Nero 8 is available, and if you own 6.6, you probably qualify for discount pricing. I was running Nero 7.9.x, and didn't have any significant problems except for Vision Express, which just seems to get more unreliable and buggy with each new release.

Thanks for your help, but the version of Nero I got was the free one you get with your DVD Burner which is just the stripped down version. Also I really don't want to pay for an upgrade I just want this one to work.

Sorry it isnt going to work
No way for 6 to work on vista.
Nero is one of the few programs I truly feel I got my money's worth
on when i bought it.

HEE HEE since we are talking about Nero, I do not believe we need to start a new thread,

(What do I know) Anyhoos I feel that nero 7 and above
controls your CD roms. to an over extension. I have a Sh1t load of burned cd`s and sometimes I do not label all that is on cd. I will put in rom and explore, without Nero 7 I can explore disk. with Nero7 computer hangs
and I have to hit the reset button to get out of it. When it hangs only
thing showing is walpaper no task bar, no start button, No Icons of anykind.
what also seems wierd, I can right click rom with nothing in it to get to properties to change functionality. and IT will still hang..

Have you got the latest update for Nero 7?

**xpuser357** · December 18th, 2007, 08:36 PM

Sorry NOO I put 6.6 back on. I did not have Full version. only
Nero 7 essentials.

Did you get the version 6 update then?

**xpuser357** · December 19th, 2007, 08:00 AM

I do not have same issues with 6.6 but I will update.

I feel my thread has been Hijacked (Just kidding)
I gave up on Nero 6.6 working in Vista so I went to http://fileforum.betanews.com/browse to look for a free one. I tried about 5 of them and they all seem to work fine, some easier to use than others. But they all have the same flaw, none of them will do a disk to disk copy. What's with that? Anybody got any ideas?

That really depends on exactly what disk your trying to copy.
A dvd is very difficult to do a disk copy of .
Doing a disk copy for a data disk is simple.
Game disks are not very easy either all because of write protection.
