1/10 Waste of time and money - shockingly bad software

TCMuffin - 11/12/08

Pros: Nothing Cons: Bloated software. Takes hours to attempt an installation which then fails. Even using the uninstall tool provided by Nero,- almost impossible to uninstall without hacking the registry. Installs Ask Toolbar spyware even if you select do not install. Summary: Don't buy this software. As other reviewers have said, it takes hours to install, if you can get it to install at all. I have a high specification laptop running Windows Vista 32-bit Business and I'm an IT consultant with 34 years of experience. It took me several days of registry hacking to 'successfully' install this update.

1/10 Installation problems

mark@... - 05/29/09

I installed Nero 9, then Nero Move-it. Move-it corrupted the installation of Nero 9. The vista uninstaller would not do it, requires special "clean" tool from Nero. You know that you must have lots of install problems when you have to create a special tool and make it publicly available. Also the overall installation takes over an hour, on my quad core. I have upgraded from Nero 8, hopefullit it will work once I get it installed. Paid technical support ($1.29/hour) had this insight- "uninstall and install it again". Wow, I would not have guess that myself. This was of course complicated by the fact that their uninstaller did not work... had to get the "clean" tool. Wish me luck.
