    Default Can't fully install Nero 5.5.9.9

    After searching this site (search seems a bit screwed up, btw), nothing came up, so...

    I used to have an ISO of Nero 5.5.0.4 with a serial. Obviously, the serial has been blackflagged since then so when I try to update to version 5.5.9.9, it tells me the serial was prolly stolen and Nero becomes Nero express (demo).

    Fine, so I uninistall Nero with add/remove, then I clear all the registry entries containing "ahead" and "nero", I delete the directory where nero used to be, reboot, then install version 5.5.9.9 with a keygen. I open Nero and voila, everything works (the full version).

    But upon rebooting, I open Nero and bang, back to demo. While deleting reg entries the first time, I saw "nerocheck.exe" in the run section of windows. Since I have Zonealarm, I don't think Nero can phone home so it's obviously a hidden reg key somewhere that tells him that comp used to have a hacked version of Nero.

    That must be it since right after the installation everything works fine and after a reboot, it's demo time.

    My question is does anybody know where that key is, or what is happening ? I can't believe i'm the only one in this situation. I could disable the nerocheck.exe in the registry, but maybe Nero will put that key back when opening the program and besides, I want to know what that nerocheck thingy checks (maybe a file somewhere ?)

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The same thing happened to me, just change the serial again and all should be well.

    nerocheck.exe is used to control the nero driver (nerocd2k.sys) so i wouldnt disable it.
