is there a new patch for Windows XP users who use Nero?

[DB7713]

I had problems a long time ago with Nero and just gave up! I heard there is a new patch that comes with new versions of Nero! Is this true and have problems been resolved? HOpe to use again! Need to get some avi files to vcd!!!

[Spazmogen]

I just installed Nero 6 again into XP with SP2 and had no troubles. No manual patch either.

[hoxlund]

[pranav81]

I have heard a lot of problems of people facing problems with SP2.

[hoxlund]

i slipstreamed sp2 into one of 2 of my retail copies of win xp pro full and not a single program has acted up on me, even my friends have said they had a few problems with sp2 and programs

I'll keep an ear out at work as to what customers think of sp2

[overclockxp]

List of programs Microsoft knows something is wrong!

[dodecahedron]

i didn't know SP2 was released!

[pranav81]

SP2 was released about 2 weeks before.It was available as download on MSDN for quite long time now.The network install is 266 MB's.

Older versions of Nero will have trouble with XP's SP2. One component that would have trouble is our Nero Cover Designer.

However, if you upgrade to our latest Nero 6, the issues are resolved.

Thanks for the info. Craig.BTW....I have Nero 5.5,does it work under SP2 without any problems?I dont use any cover designer software,so it does not concern me.
I will upgrade to Nero 6 soon.

Hi Pranav81,

I have not tested Nero 5.5 yet with SP2. I would suspect it would, but there are dramatic differences in the Code from Nero 5.5 to Nero 6, so it's possible that Nero 5.5 may not have the same symptoms as Nero 6.

Personally, I hope it does not as we are not making any further changes to our Nero 5.5 software, and I would hate for SP2 to force those who wish to remain with Nero 5.5 to upgrade.

I'll try and test this issue ASAP, but at the time being, it looks like I'll be tied up for the next couple of weeks.

Regards,

Craig

I'm waiting for SP2.a

[Spazmogen]

I've tried Nero 5.5.10.42 (I believe) with XP Pro & SP2.

Works fine.

I also play Need 4 Speed 2: Hot Pursuit without troubles on XP Home SP2.

I'll have to install Unreal Tournament to see if its working or not.

I'll have to FTP shortly with a website update. I'll know by next weekend for sure if that's working.

[pranav81]

Thanks for letting me know that 5.5 works without any problems on SP2.I am thinking of upgrading to SP2.

Nero 6 has issues with SP2 at least on my computer (latest update on the website from August 13th). This is the problem I had... it only occurs with Nero Express, not regular Nero.

Start up nero express. Create a new data DVD. Drag a few files over. Then drag some more (number doesn't matter)... program instantly crashes. I was able to reproduce the same thing 10 times, no matter how many files I dragged over in Nero Express. regular nero had no problems.

I had other issues with SP2, so I decided to go back to SP1. The nero problem (as well as all the other issues) went away.

[hoxlund]

for all you dial up users, if you want to get sp2 and don't want to download it you can check your local staples store

we just got in a ton of sp2 discs that shipped to us from microsoft, there free to give to customers

[pranav81]

It's pity that Microsoft does not give SP2 here on a CD.I will have to download it.

Get SP2 on CD here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/down ... fault.mspx

They say it will take about 4-6 weeks for delivery.

Microsoft even pays for the shipping costs, so this offer is absolutely FREE.

[hoxlund]

wonder how much money they lose with every cd they ship

[pranav81]

Thanks for the link Pilgrim.I was just browsing the MS site and saw the link there.I have ordered the CD yesterday and will let you all know when it reaches me.BTW.....I have already downloaded 60% of SP2.

Has anyone else run into this issue reported by Steveger?

I am not able to duplicate on my systems.

[hoxlund]

never had that problem, so no clue

[stevger]

Okay, I'll try updating again to SP2 and report what happens.

[dodecahedron]

SP2 was released about 2 weeks before.It was available as download on MSDN for quite long time now.The network install is 266 MB's.

is there a way to get SP2 as a downloadable executable file (like SP1 xpsp1_en_x86.exe)?
looking at MS site, it sends to windowsupdate and that's usually an 'interactive' download+update, not what i want.

the file for notwork update is huge and i don't think that's what i need. or is it? i want to update just 1 computer, but want the file handy in case i need to update a computer without broadband access.

[Pilgrim]

dodecahedron,

The IT version is huge, 266 megs. But, only those items your specific PC needs will be installed. I downloaded it and slipstreamed it to my original XP files as a bootable CD, using Nero, in case I ever have to reinstall XP.

You can also just burn the SP-2 files to a CD to use on anyone's PC that has XP installed.
