When I saw this page
http://www.nero.com/nero6/eng/nero-up.php
I impulsively decided to update my OEM package 6.6.0.13 to 6.6.6.016
But although the file name there is Nero-6.6.0.16.exe, the file that
actually downloads is Nero-7.6.0.16.exe

I installed it (and the other 3 setup programs from that page), and it
was a mess. Nero Express didn't burn, Nero Show Time played very
slowly and jerkily, etc. I've uninstalled but reckon I still have
residual problems.

What version is this please - 6 or 7? Is there a good version newer
than my 6.6.0.13 please?

And any basic pointers on how to get back to stability would be much
appreciated please. I took a registry copy directly before that major
update, but restoring it has not got me back to a sweetly running Nero
package.

There is no such version as 7.6.0.16 Nor would it install and run if there
was, unless you have a license serial for version 7.

Terry - It's been a while since I've updated. I am a firm believer in,[/quote]
"If it ain't broke don't fix it." Nevertheless, I recall seeing some
kind of cautionary statement about the update files not working with OEM
versions. I could be wrong but I think that they are only for
downloaded retail and shrink wrap products.

Did you look at the page link I gave?

If you do, you'll see the setup (1 of 4), described as an update, not
an upgrade - I do understand that distinction.

And if you care to try it, you'll see that you'll initially get the
familiar message 'You have chosen to open Nero-6.6.0.16.exe'. But as
soon as the downloading starts a message appears 'Downloading
Nero-7.6.0.16.exe'. And that's what ends up in your download folder.
I've just tried it again this morning, with the same result I saw last
night.

Also, since the original download, I've discovered another source of
'Nero-6.6.0.16.exe', and it is exactly the same size as
'Nero-7.6.0.16.exe' that I have: 34235626 bytes.

So I conclude it's a naming slip, albeit a potentially confusing one.
Given my desperation at the erratic results I described, I was ready
to believe it was the completely wrong setup file...

I'm quite familiar with Nero downloads. Just for fun I just went and
downloaded 6.6.0.16, and that's what I got.
