 Windows won't shut down after installing this thing September 23, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Once I put this thing up on my windoes XP machine, I get a WMS Idle error every time I try to shud down windows. This cause me to need to manually shut down my machine. I de-installed Nero and my machine now operates properly. Looking for another DVD solution.

So, I did not listen to the other reviews about Nero 7. I did find it more difficult to load. Did not let me customize-had to load features that I will never use. It does do a great job for Dvds, but I found it easier to use Roxio for backing up my music cds. I would of stayed with an earlier version (6), if it wasn't for Microsoft vista not supporting version 6.
 Great program although a little buggy August 28, 2007

I bought this program so I could put my home videos on DVD. It works very well, allowing you to trim scenes and add your own chapter points wherever you wish. It also comes with a wide variety of picture and audio tools you can use. The only problems I had were when I tried to update it online. I ran into errors and the program appeared to delete itself and not install the new version. I used Windows restore function to go back to where I had originally installed the program and had no problems. I also had one error message when I installed from the disc. The program appeared to be looking for an high-def capable DVD-ROM drive. I just clicked to continue and the program finished installing without any problems.
Not very impressive so far August 22, 2007

I have ready many reviews and thought I was ready to use this product. So I
bought this last week. I tried burning a slide show to a dvd disc, I got a burn faild message. I removed and reinstalled the software and tried burning again and still failed. Tech support recommended updating my firmware for my recorder and there is no guaranteed that it will fix the problem. I can't get more advice until I do this update. I am not that good with computers so I had to read up what's a firmware is and then tried to find an update for my SONY DVD+-RW DW-Q58A version uds2. I gave up after 2 hours. Does anyone know where I can find the new version to download? and what is the newest version? This product is not for beginners. I will write more if I ever get to use this product.
Lousy software, no support August 17, 2007

In fairness to Nero, I'll mention up front that I'm probably not their typical user. I bought the product because I really liked the backup program in Nero 6, but when I replaced my PC with one running Vista, Nero 6 wouldn't install on it. I use Nero ShowTime (for watching DVDs) and Express (for burning CDs and DVDs) too, but not much else.
First, the only piece I've got no complaints about is the CD/DVD burning. It's obviously the core of the suite and if Nero didn't make that work, nobody would buy the product. Of course, they couldn't price it nearly as high as they do without saying it had a lot of other features - making them work is evidently less important to them. As another reviewer mentioned, if this is all you want it for, buy away, but you could probably get something else to do the job for a lot less.
As for Nero BackItUp, I am amazed that a program could get so bad so quickly. The version in Nero 6 I'd rate 9 out of 10 for my purposes. In the new version, jobs you disable so they won't run, run anyway. The log file used to contain about 1/3 of a screen full of messages if the backup went OK, and there was no other practical way to tell if the backup had run OK. There is still no other good way to see if a backup ran correctly, but now the log file can run on for 40 pages after a single backup. When I back up My Documents, Nero insists on following the shortcuts to My Music and My Pictures that it finds there and backing up those as well. It gives no indication it's going to do this until the backup is running. Often I'll get messages saying that a file that existed when I first created the backup job is no longer there. Well, that's why I told you what FOLDERS to back up and not what files, because I knew I'd be adding and deleting files over time. When this happens, I usually get several identical messages (all indicating the same file). Not sure if this means that there were actually multiple files deleted and they only felt like giving me the one name, or what. Also, like Windows Explorer, at the top of the folder hierarchy is an entry called "Desktop", in addition to the folder farther down in the hierarchy which contains the actual files which reside on a specific user's desktop. Unfortunately, Nero confuses the two, so if you ask it to back up the files on your Desktop, it thinks you mean "back up ANY FILE YOU CAN FIND, ANYWHERE".
As for support, talking to yourself would be more productive. I used their web support feature to request help on two of the bugs I found. I got back automated responses saying that they had received my requests and would be in touch. In one of those cases, that was the last I heard from them. On the issue of the Desktop backup, we went back and forth several times in email, and I never got the impression they were doing more than vamping until I got frustrated and gave up. First they wanted screen shots. OK, that's not unreasonable. Then they wanted me to install the latest updates. OK, it's not likely that they accidentally fixed the problem, thus explaining why they'd have no mention of it in their release notes, but tried it. Then they wanted logs from the backup job. Well,if I can't get past the problem with the user interface to create a backup job, how can I then run the backup job to get you a log? And if I could, how would it tell you anything useful? Finally, they just gave me an answer that was patently false and told me to let them know if I had further inquiries. My further inquiries were ignored. The company is HQ'd in Germany, so some of the issues might be language related, but it's lousy support no matter how look at it.
As for ShowTime, frequently when I click a button (FF, pause, etc.) the audio will just die and the only way I can get it going again is to restart the program.
In conclusion, if you're willing to pay what they're asking and all you want to do is write CDs and DVDs, go right ahead. If you're not on Vista and can find a copy of Nero 6, do that. If you're interested in any of Nero's "accessories", get the free trial and test all the functions you'll use thoroughly. If you want support for anything, maybe you should try learning German.
