I think I got the answer on my problem...I installed Nero CD/DVD
program...and the computer I was installing it on, only had a CD burner..and
no DVD.
Damon....try System Mechanic 6.0...they have the full version for a 30 day
free trial. I just uninstalled my SM...because you need a separate license
for each computer...it was a good program, if I could have registered it for
all 3 of my computers. Worth $50..but not $150.;-)
