How can I tell if I have Nero 5.5.9.17.0 or 5.5.9.17.1 ?

[donpedro]

I know that there are some issues with Nero and Sony DRU-500A drive. It is about not being able to close some disks. Solution was install original version of Nero 5.5.9.17. I know that I have old version becaouse I updatead my before they changed it on web. But if I don't know which version I have, how can I find out if it is allready installed ? I believe that both will show in "About" version 5.5.9.17. Am I right ? This might help some people that are having "close disk" issue.

There is no version of NERO 5.5.9.17.1

There are 5.5.9.14 , 5.5.9.17 etc etc

The latest is 5.5.9.17

To check it go to HELP ----> ABOUT NERO and there you will see the version that u r using

[donpedro]

There are 2 versions of NERO 5.5.9.17. One that was released before November 6th 2002 and one released on November 6th 2002.

See this post : Sony dru500, Nero 5.5.9.17 and dvd+r closing session problem

EDITED... Link fixed. I missed first "h"

In that link you can find link to version .0

THis link doesn't seem to work! I am about to get a DRU-500 burner - does it ALWAYS fail with Nero 5.5.9.17.1 (which I think I have - how do I tell?). If so, how can I revert to 5.5.9.17.0?

Help MUCH appreciated!

I have a DRU 500A and in Nero 5.5.9.17 it fails when trying to burn DVD+R. It says "Cannot Perform End Of Disc-At-Once". This puzzles me and I have no idea on how to fix it.

Mark,

From what I've read, there IS a bug in the very latest version of Nero (5.5.9.17.1) which prevents disc finalising on DVD+R. Apparently, it was fine in 5.5.9.17.0 - but I can't find a way of telling whether you have a '0' or '1' version of 5.5.9.17.

There is 'supposedly' a link somewhere to the 5.5.9.17.0 version (but I can't find it), and the way to fix the discs you've already burned using 5.5.9.17.1 is to use the 'old' version to write a 0 byte file (e.g. empty txt file in Notepad) to the disc, and select 'finalise'.

Please let me know if you have any luck!

Mark.

If I don't have the "old" version, then should I add that text file to the "new" version? I don't know which one I have.

I emailed Nero support, if I get anywhere with them I will post what they say.

OK... Lets try this... Here is some info from my Nero

WinXP Home

Help / About => 5.5.9.17

nero.exe => 4,837,376 bytes
Drweb32.dll => 573,952 bytes
NeroAPI.dll => 1,486,848 bytes
NeroDb.dll => 131,072 bytes

Any sugestions about good files to compare ?

And I fixed my previous link. I missed "h" in "http"

[donpedro]

I did intall both versions on my Win2000 laptop (no burner so it is trial version) and here is what I found.

5.5.9.17.0 or 5.5.9.17 original, before Nov 6th

nero.exe (4,837,376 bytes) Monday, October 28, 2002, 1:59:26 PM

5.5.9.17.1 or 5.5.9.17 latest avilable from Nero.com

nero.exe (4,837,376 bytes) Tuesday, November 05, 2002, 9:02:26 PM

So only difference that I was able to find was Modified Date.

Can somebody confirm my finding or suggest different method ?
