Nero Express will not start - solved

[EAO]

Running Nero 6.3.11 or something close to that. One below the current version.

Anyway all has been fine for weeks and months. Bought some TDK that is a pos. Halfway through a DVD shrink burn it hung at 40% on the burn. It would not continue the burn. It would not cancel.

Had to finally turn the PC off and on.

Now Nero Express will not start. It shows in the task manager as a process, but will not open. I CAN open Nero, load the Video file that way and either burn or switch to Nero Expree to successfully burn. But Nero Express will not do a 2nd burn if I attempt it.

Tried uninstallinr, system restore, and Nero clean file. Also tried deleting reg keys.

Am I looking at any alternative besides an XP rebuild if I want to continue using Nero Express?

Since no one has any ideas...

does anyone have any links or know any additional tools that may do a better job of deleting Nero out of the PC than the tool listed at the Ahead site?

Download latest updates and install those.
Newest version is 6.6.0.15

But doesn't the latest update require you to purchase the software.

I thought 6.6... was treated different than 6.3....

I HATE Data Execution Prevention.

XP was not 'looking' at this program before, but somehow the bad burn and reboot caused some kind of error that triggered this program.

I HATE DEP!!!

Once I 'allowed' the exe on Nero Express... all is good.

Any way to turn it all off?
