1.0 out of 5 stars Nero 9 = disaster, October 23, 2008

By	L. L. Frederiks (Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nero should get a grip. Version 9 is even more bloated than their previous releases, except for:

- They added some TV viewing application. Why does it belong to a DVD OR CD BURNING application ? I repeat... DVD or CD burning application. Yes, that's what it is still supposed to be.

- Removed some usefull apps, like the back-up module.

- It doesn't install at all. Well, if it does you are very very lucky. Plus you have a lot of patience, because it takes almost an hour to install. Hell, even Vista installs faster these days.

- During installation likely you get lots of Windows installer warnings.

- It hijacks your file types.

- Is a pain to uninstall. Again one hour the same messages and errors as an install.

- It corrupts your Windows Restore Points. So it could be that you can't go back to a restore point. Then all that helps is the Nero cleanup application.

Nero should do a few things:

- Fix this piece of software. Go back to the drawing board and fix it.
- Rethink what this software is. They are freeware programs like DVD Flick, Imgburn or CDBurnerXP, which can do the same basic stuff just as good and don't require 1.5 GB on your hard disk. Plus they actually work !

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage, November 8, 2008

By	L. James (N.C.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Slow install? How about this...I started install at 10 p.m. got up at 5 a.m. and it was STILL installing. The EPG (program guide} for the Live T.V. has not worked and after contacting tech support they said do the reinstall. The first install took about an hour. The reinstall took 8 HOURS!!!
I have purchased Nero 7, Nero 8 and now Nero 9.
This is it. No more. This software should have never been released. It was rushed to market. It's like selling a wad of dough and calling it bread. I have purchased buggy software before but this stands alone.
Contacting tech support is a 5 day process. I've contacted them twice and that is the response time. The answers and advice they offer is do a reinstall. This is after sending them screen shots they requested and an in depth system anaysis tool that gives them a ton of info about your system. Reinstall. Wow...you really looked into didn't you?
I gave up and decided to go back to Nero 8 and guess what? It says my legally purchased version has an illegal license. What?
It will let me install 8 but I can't run it. This is after confirming my license with Nero.
I contacted support about this too. I'll let you know how this works out in 4 or 5 days.
So far, I have wasted hours and hours with this software that does not rise to even the beta stage. Save your money and your time. Go elsewhere.

1.0 out of 5 stars avoid like the plague, October 22, 2008

By	anna nonymous "annanon" - See all my reviews

this product is a disaster - there have been many problems just installing it, many people can't, and when it does install some functions don't work properly. the manufacturer's support is useless. they keep releasing updates which don't solve the problems. check out the nero user forums.
