    I've had some problems with Nero Express and tried
    several reinstall routines: from my factory disk and
    also from a download update.

    I got some errors saying 'all the files didn't copy, please
    reinstall' and when inspecting my disk, found a smudge
    on it.


    How can I clean this? I need some simple disk care info
    possibly.

    Aside from that, if I have a badly damaged Nero disk--
    the one supplied with my burner, can I give the serial
    number at Nero to get a good and clean copy to install?


    The place where the prog. hangs is at Nero Vision when
    I try to load an AVI file. Previously I had some success
    making AVI to DVD. I've inspected this last of a group
    of AVI files and it plays normally in the Nero Viewer: vid,
    sound etc.


    Can the Nero Vision be upgraded or fixed separately?

    Well, that's all the possibilities I can think of.

    If you have a genuine serial number then you should be able to go to Nero site and download current version of Nero, it will ask for your serial no.

    From your link I am downloading the the Nero 7.0.5.4eng.exe


    That d/l commenced ok.

    When the installer runs, won't it puke out a serial
    number I have from Nero Express?

    Previously the installer I d/l'ed was the Nero 6.6.0.4
    I think.

    The goal is to get a clean install from source.

    If the d/l fails what's the best method of cleaning the disk
    and starting over with that? I thought of isopropyl alcohol
    but I'd like to get another opinion.

    You should be downloading Nero 6 as I dont know if Nero7 will accept your s/n from Nero6.

    Yep. Nero 7 showed it was installing a demo version.

    Nothing was said at the website that this would be a demo
    install. I have a nero 6 and I ran that.

    I have effectively bought the program with my burner.

    Why all this headache?


    Who has loaded one of these updates with the resulting
    program not hanging up? What is the exact link?
