When it comes to recording data to discs, the folks at Nero AG have it down. Various incarnations of the Nero Burning ROM have been around since the earliest days of CD-Burners, and if you’ve purchased an optical burner any time within the past seven years or so, chances are you’re familiar with Nero software.These days, the ol’ Burning ROM is just a small piece of a huge library of Nero software that has continued to evolve and grow.

The most recent incarnation of the popular Nero software suite is Nero 8. Today we’ll be taking a look at some of the new and improved features offered by Nero 8 Ultra, and hope to give you a good idea of what this software can do for you, and if it’s worth your time and money.Here’s what Nero themselves have to say about their product:Nero 8 brings the digital world to your PC.

Rest easy with advanced backup features to protect against loss from system crash or damaged disc.

You don't need to uninstall v2014 to install v2019. In fact, you might want to keep it since, if your have v2014 Platinum, you have the blu-ray player and can decode DTS or other HD audio.

Those options don't exist in v2019.If you want to uninstall v2014, I can think of a number of registry edits to remove it but, sometimes, it is beneficial to reinstall it and then try to uninstall it again.You might try tech support by sending an e-mail to. I don't think they support v2014 anymore but might address it since you purchased v2019. Hey guys I am lost here and cannot find how to ask a question so this is the nearest I can do! I am now having this problem with Nero 2017 which has worked fine up until now but now Windows 10 insists on trying to add Windows Updates and a new Creator thing but keeps telling me to unistall Nero Express due to it being incompatable.

It will not let me uninstall it by clicking the box anyway and tells me to do it by hand but I cannot unistall Express only the whole suite and I don't want to. Any VERY low-tech suggestions anyone?

Hope we can help each other.This installation is actually quite an old one. Have upgraded from XP to Vista to 7 an now 8.1 going to 10! I'm usually pretty good with running a lean install so haven't had too many issues with performance/reliability etc that I couldn't solve.Having said that though I have had quite a number of Nero versions run on this over the years. Latest being '14 and '15.

But as far as I can tell I've cleared out all the Nero related cruft I'm aware of. Including in the registry.So I'm looking at Nero 'plugins' installed by third party programs right now. Two I've found so far are Nokia Music from '09 and the latest version of htc sync, downloaded this year. Both have files and/or folders named '.Nero.'

Working on removing those also now.Will let you know if there's any good news later:). Hope we can help each other.This installation is actually quite an old one.

The 'Manually uninstall' prompt is gone now! I can proceed with my upgrade: )What I did was basically search for ANY file or folder going by the name of 'Ahead' or 'Nero' in the 'Program Files (x86)' and 'Program Files' folders. I deleted ALL top level folders matching the name.

And also a lot of the files living else where inside other programs folders just to be safe. Since everything I've deleted is in the Recycle Bin. I'm planning to selectively restore some of those files after the upgrade if I notice any odd behaviour from the affected programs afterwards.

If that dsen't work I can always reinstall them anyway. The important thing is my upgrade is happening now!As it stands my registry and installed programs list were already cleared out before. Since I'd already wasted entirely too many hours behind this 'simple' upgrade I decided to take the Nuclear option and trash as many items related to Nero as I possibly could. Turns out it worked.So my guess is the setup routine parses the contents of the 'Program Files (x86)' folder and throws up a warning message if it finds anything matching it's database. Regardless of whether the program is 'installed' or not.

So any cruft accidentally left behind after uninstallation can also block your upgrade!Hope that was clear enough. This works.go to Program Files (x86) folder and search 'nero' from there. You'll be shocked how many files are shown. Delete all that you find.fyi, some icons may be there but can't be deleted because the associated file 'has been moved'. Probably already deleted after an earlier uninstall. Nonetheless, just 'skip' them when deleting. Since they are no longer associated with an active file, the Windows 10 installer ignores them.I'm not sure why the 'Nero Cleaner' program doesn't locate these files.or why I don't find them from my initial windows search.

I'll explore that later.Anyway, after doing this, my Windows 10 continued installing and now works perfectly.Note: afterwards I didn't reinstall anything Nero because it's not my 'go to' program of choice.I just cleaned out everything with CCleaner (some registry entries did show up and were deleted.).

Biggest challenge now is trying to get used to the new interface.I think you'd actually want to uninstall the AV and anything else you suspect might be causing the issue. They're always easy enough to reinstall after. I myself had the latest version of Norton Security running WHILE I ran the upgrade. Had no issues during. And also found the program fully functional after W10 booted up. I guess there is something to be said for running the latest version of ANY piece of software.

They usually get the most attention from both the publisher AND Microsoft.BTW. Have you tried the following link from Microsoft yet?

Sorry to hear that Ed.Myself on the other hand have been using W10 daily since the weekend. Few odd bugs here and there but that's to be expected on any brand new OS version. The upgrade itself actually took quite a number of hours to complete. But in the end it finished without any major dramas.And I'm pretty happy with the result so far.

Well I hope your upgrade path looks a little more trouble free in a year or so from now Ed. Maybe a future build will take care of a lot of these issues so many people are having at the moment.

I know that closer to December they're planning to do a big feature release to the 10. So it might be worth trying with the updated ISO then.In the meantime I suggest if you're feeling adventurous at all, try making a clone of your 8.1 installation inside a VM and upgrading that to 10. If this 32% issue is hardware/driver related, that shouldn't carry over into the VM setup since that's a completely separate config! That'll at least help you narrow down the issue and give you some answers.

Oracle's VirtualBox is completely free and reliable VM Manager you could try.Also, I wonder if you've tried running 'chkdsk /f', 'sfc/ scannow' and 'DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth' to ensure your disc and windows files are corruption free before running the 10 upgrade?Anyways, few ideas to try out if you wanted to give it one last try. Or else despite what so many say, 8.1 isn't bad OS. It just has a few rough edges!

But at the moment, so does W10!! In fact, there are a few areas of 8.1 I'm missing in this first week with W10.Wish you all the best Ed: ).

But at the moment, so does W10!! In fact, there are a few areas of 8.1 I'm missing in this first week with W10.Wish you all the best Ed: ). Congratulations Ed! I guess the problem you were facing was big enough for Microsoft to do something about in the end.Glad they elected to sort it out sooner rather than later also. Despite the trouble faced by yourself and so many others, can you imagine how many more people out there won't have to deal with this frustrating issue, now that this fix is finally out!?Goes to show the importance of keeping your machine up to date.

Although I had applied all available updates to the old 8.1 installation prior to my upgrade attempt also. This patch of yours wouldn't have been out at the time I don't think.

So I'm guessing I just got lucky not to have been affected with your issue also!!I hope your experience with W10 has been a smooth one thus far. After the first week of experimentation and poking around into all different corners of the OS. I've definitely begun to relax into it and have gotten productive with the PC again. Barring a few minor annoying bugs, the interface changes has largely been unobtrusive and even beneficial for me.

The OS hasn't gotten in the way of getting real work done so far either.It's definitely daily driver ready for any average computer minded people like you or I. I am recommending my less tech savvy relations to stay away for now though as I don't want to be stuck troubleshooting their system if things go wrong during or after the upgrade! At Least till the end of the year when Microsoft hopefully gets on top of most of these annoying issues so many of us are facing still.It's not fun to spend weeks trying to sort out what should be a 'simple' OS upgrade as you know!!

Tazim Sinjal, Thanks for the reply.My first impressions of Windows 10 are mixed.While all of my software works as normal, it seems as if most of the changes to the operating system are only cosmetic.They've certainly allowed the user to have more customizations - but they've also loaded down the system with features I can do without.I also am curious why they've decided to prevent users from changing window borders, and to prevent us from changing darkness of the taskbar.Otherwise, I can live with Windows 10. They say the best experience is to be had if you do a fresh install. My upgrade experience has definitely been a mixed bag so far. Some of the problems I'm facing two weeks in.My iCloud app has gotten real buggy since one of those windows updates a fewdays back.

Was fine for the first two weeks. Now it's constantly crashing explorer, using too much cpu, making Norton Security crazy with activity, complaining about not having access to it's sync folder.

AARGHH.I ended up turning off the entire iCloud Photos feature to work around the issue. I'm guessing Apple has to release an update to fix whatever changes these updates made to Windows.The wallpapers keep cycling too quickly for my liking.

And I can't find any easy way to navigate to the classic 'desktop background' / 'slideshow picker' window through the control panel! Only workaround I've found is via this command. 'control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper'Hate the new full screen start (layout) compared to the old one in 8.1. The two column view and vertical scrolling doesn't feel as intuitive for me.

And all my customizations to the old 8.1 screen has been wiped during the upgrade. Have to painstakingly group all my hundreds of apps into their own categories again. Quite frustrating. The new desktop start menu itself is fine however.

I'm still using Classic Shell though lolAlso seem to be running out or RAM frequently now. Didn't seem to have that problem with 8.1. Not sure if it's W10 related though.

Working with 8GB and an i7 CPU here. And don't even get me started about how buggy 'Edge' is still!!

Tazim Sinjal, I'd found and used the 'control /name Microsoft.Personalization /page pageWallpaper' command too! I'd also found a Windows 8 type command for changing the taskbar/titlebar colors and transparency - with the three sliders, but, alas, it changed the colors and hues - but wouldn't adjust their intensities.I, too, have noticed that I leak a lot of RAM since installing Windows 10, and I can't figure out why. I do know that it comes with an inordinate amount of bloatware.I don't have iCloud. And I don't know what's causing the problems.

Just a quickie. Tracked down the memory leak issue to a combo of Youtube html5 videos, Internet explorer and the RealTimes/RealPlayer video downloader plugin!I've been having MASSIVE out of memory errors while browsing. I run many tabs and almost always have multiple tabs with videos either playing and paused. It was bad enough to make the PC totally unresponsive. Causing me to have to hard reboot the PC once a day or more. But then it was fixed as soon as I disabled the (RT) ActiveX plugins via IEs 'Manage Add-ons' option.

Took me about half a week to isolate the issue though. What with this, the iCloud bug and other minor issues all happening at once.I think this problem itself probably has very little to do with W10. It only started up once I updated RealTimes to the latest build about a week after the W10 upgrade. Was fine in that respect till then.Short of time atm because of work. Will talk to you guys about the other stuff later.:).

Tazim Sinjal, I rarely use IE. I use Firefox, and I don't use the RealPlayer plug-in. I'm like you in regard to opening a lot of pages during the day. If I go to Huffingtonpost.com, which is always updating, I can see the RAM hit after a few minutes. Firefox is notorious for its inability to apportion memory allocations.Also, I downloaded and installed Classic Shell, and it allowed me to make a number of changes - most specifically - the transparency of my taskbar.

So far, though, I've been unable to find a way to colorize titlebars. Something I'm sure many people would prefer.

Well, so far it did away with the cloudiness, which is basically why I had it done. I had 20-20 vision even with the cloudiness. However, I purposely didn't have them use a special lens because those lenses cause halos when you look at lights, especially at night. Right now, I'm getting prodigeous halos when I look with that eye only. Hopefully, it will go away with time. If it doesn't, I'll be raising hell with the doctor. I'm supposed to go back next week to decide if I want the other eye operated on.

It's not going to happen because I can see perfectly with that eye.

Nero 8 Ultra Edition Full Version - Reviews 2017 Youtube

Wither1, they had me pay for an upgrade.That didn't take correctly, as I have had Nero for many Years. Then it turned into buying the Newest Product. Then it would not install properly, Nero said my New Computer had a Virus. I was going to return my brand new Comp, they suggested an IT. Three weeks later, that Company still couldn't fix what they kept messing up.Yes, it was someone connected through Nero.I will have to go into my Receipts to tell you who.

Then all they did was add on to my Comp! I finally sent a file that they asked for last week and after they sent back again I sent a letter telling them I wanted a refund or someone to help. I got a reply from another Nero agent and tried to change the allowance setting on system C drive files. It did not work. Now I have tried to start with a clean boot and it says there is another installation that has not completed. I want this thing running and will buy another complete version if that is the answer but I do not know what to try now.gary.

Hi TazimI think Microsoft has a lot of compatibility issues, I've just rolled back the upgrade on the wife's laptop after Windows 10 said it was not compatible with Kaspersky and having a 5 user licence from Kaspersky I wasn't prepared to buy a new AV programme. I did not try any other programme that was on the laptop after falling at the first hurdle! I will not be installing W10 on my desktop machine or other laptops until the issues with Nero/Kaspersky and goodness knows what else have been sorted.

Oldmickthejoiner, Since I started this thread 18 days ago, I discovered (through Nero) that the compatibility issues with Nero were a false negative.I would check for any new Windows updates that have been sent to you since Windows 10 has been released. I'd had the same problems you're having, but one morning I found two new updates - and then I tried the install and there were no compatibility issues with Nero.Also, some people claim that if you turn off your virus checker through the upgrade process, there should be no problems.Good Luck!

Have you looked at the Nero advertisements from a new purchaser's viewpoint? Or, even worse, from an experienced Nero user view. Is the user of previous Nero versions supposed to search for what has been eliminated in new products?Please interpret this:And, this:And, a repeat request: please remove the following reference to a post by me in the 'Community Member' sidebar on the forum main page:The issue of Nero Video/Recode not starting because of Nero's lack of ability to deal with AMD Graphics drivers just keeps coming up. Nero's lack of a fix or clear explanation of viable workarounds simply complicates the user experience.I recognize that these issues aren't strictly on topic, but I feel they are indicative of Nero's lack of transparency about the obvious decline of their products.On the subject of transparency, please clarify the reason for the removal of the Blu-ray Player after years of attempts to make it work. Your technical liaison and apologist, Wither 1, blames the Blu-ray organization all the time, but is not able to explain why it is that other vendors have no problem.

Hi Omega Tester, I think the topic will stay on the page until someone else got a 'promoted answer' status on another topic and the creator of the topic set it to 'solved'. I found no setting to influence this behavior at all. Sorry for that.To quote Steve Jobs: Blu-Ray playback is a „bag of hurts“. Add the words official and certified to the quote and you get the picture. Others have left the ship, too (Roxio Cineplayer, Arcsoft Total Media Theater). Doing an unofficial, certified player is a piece of cake. Keith Rascal Harris, have you checked the Windows Feedback Hub for this problem?

There seems to be a hitch in the update for W10 version 1709. You might want to do a search for Nero traces in your registry.I found the following problem in the Feedback Hub:'While updating to W10 Version 1709 process stops at 49% because it cannot uninstall Nero- burning rom. Nero is NOT installed, cannot find any folders or files in Program Files or Program File (x86) with Ahead or Nero in their names and cannot find anything in the registry with Ahead or Nero.'

And here is one of the responses:'More than,likely in your registry. Also, I have Nero 2015 installed and had no issues installing the update.' Edward Owens - Now for the, er, update.After speaking with 5 support technicians and 2 supervisors, the in-place upgrade was dismal -it simply restored the same build 1703.But - I then found Windows Update not working and all of my network connections broken. The Windows 10 installation is the default boot on the PC, which is dual boot for Win 10 and Win 7 Ultimate.Well, I had a system image of the disc, so I ran system image restore. It restored the default boot and wiped clean the Windows 7 partition, which contained all my video editing software.So, as the Windows 10 had been restored from the system image, I re-ran the system image restore by booting from an installation disc and lo, recovered the deleted drive content.So now its at the point where, again, Microsoft have elevated this to a higher level of support and I await contact from them over the coming days.
