OEM Nero 6 - useless.

Afternoon all,

I've just bought a nice new fast DVDR drive and it's turned up with the lame
ass OEM version of Nero. All I can seem to get to is Nero Express rather
than Nero Burning ROM which I'm used to.

Anyone know if there is anyway of getting to BurningROM with the OEM cd or
do I just need to get my credit card out?

Thanks for any info.

Dave.

Huh? If you already had Nero Burning ROM as you indicate, why do you
feel it is necessary to load the OEM Nero Express anyway? If you own
Nero full version, just go and download the latest version to which
you are entitled.
Now if you own an OLD version (4 or 5) then you will have to pay the
UPGRADE price for Version 6.

Sorry, should have been more clear. I already have 5.5 which came with an
old CD writer. The new version is an OEM Nero 6.

That's what he's saying Dave. If you have 5.5, then use it. I bought
5.5 recently enough to be entitled to a free upgrade to 6, but I'm
still using 5.5 because in my opinion, 6 is still buggy crap.

First uninstall the earlier version. There is a weird issue reported
by some people where if you tried to install the new version on top of
the old one, you'd screw up both (and it's kind of hard to uninstall
at that point).

Depending on how the OEM disc was laid out, when it did the install,
you should have gotten two different shortcuts. One for Nero, and one
for Nero Express. Either way, they're both the same executable. If
you didn't get both shortcuts created, make a copy of the Nero Express
shortcut. Right click on this copy, then remove the /w switch from
the TARGET line.

The /w switch tells Nero to go into Nero Express mode. Without any
command line options, it will default to the standard Nero.
