Hi Arleen, If you mean 'how do you find out what version of a program (Nero) you have, it is usually under the help menu under about or info or some other such item under help. Sometimes the title bar says the version number when the program is launched and sometimes the installed start menu icons indicate what version you are running. with Nero 8, the installed folder icon which contains the launch icons for the various Nero utilities is called Nero 8 itself. So when you arrow through or in Windows 7, when you type NERO in the search box under the start menu, you might see the Nero folder icon which would tell you the version number. ----- Original Message ----- From: Arlene To: winamp4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 2:53 PM Subject: RE: Suppressing CD Database look up Oh, I think in this windows 7 computer I have nine.

I do not have Windows 7 so I am not sure if Nero 8 will work with it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Arlene To: winamp4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2011 10:34 AM Subject: RE: Suppressing CD Database look up Oh, I got windows 7 and Nero.

If for example, I want an album containing 3 Beatles Songs, 3 Rolling Stone songs, 5 Yes songs and 5 Emerson Lake and Palmer songs and if I copy mp3 or other format files to a folder on my hard drive and if I then burn them to an audio CD, when I insert this custom CD into the CD drive on my computer, Winamp comes up with this CD database utility and this utility interferes with the basic operation of Winamp. I have difficulty focusing on it and I have difficulty finding the close button when as is likely, the database returns zero results. Therefore, I would like to disable this database. Searches through the preferences rendered no results for me. ----- Original Message ----- From: Arlene To: winamp4theblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2011 5:11 PM Subject: RE: Suppressing CD Database look up Hi there, Are you talking about a burned disk or a regular disk?

I have looked through preferences and I do not see how I can keep the CD Database from launching when I put in a custom CD. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
