Is there a reliable working version for Vista now. Frankly everything I read and experience with Nero scares me. I liked and used their Nero 7 Ultra Edition 7.2.3.2Thanks, It is now 2010.

I'm glad that you got everything worked out and you knew deep down that you were just going to get an automated response anyways. ;) I actually don’t remember if I was prompted with changing my Direct X or not, but everything is working great here.

After rebooting, dxdiag still shows DirectX v10, so I assume it did not overwrite the v10.BTW...Like normal tech support these days, Nero's tech support did not read my email and told me that it is Vista Compatible. Here is their response:<blockquote>Dear valued customer,thank you for your email and your interest in our software.Nero 7 is now Windows vista ready ! Our latest version Nero 7.5.7.0 now support Windows Vista RC1.</blockquote>They did not address my question at all about it wanting to "improve" my system by installing DirectX v9.0c.I should have known better from the start than to try tech support.

Dear valued customer,

thank you for your email and your interest in our software.

Nero 7 is now Windows vista ready !
Our latest version Nero 7.5.7.0 now support Windows Vista RC1.

They did not address my question at all about it wanting to “improve” my system by installing DirectX v9.0c.

I should have known better from the start than to try tech support.

I tried that. It STILL want to "improve" my system by installing DirectX 9.0c.I do not want to do that because I do not know if it will screw up DirectX. I know in the past, DirectX would not revert back to an earlier version when you install it like it did in the early days of DirectX. However, I am skeptical. Ok. I tried that.

Still The box says it is the Ultra Edition "Enhanced", which is also their new name for the vista compatible release.To me, this is totally unacceptable. The program should work out of the box for the system it is said to work on. However, the included book does not list Vista as a supported OS. Ryan wrote:

This for a full retail product you purchase???? It is so asinine!!!I have emailed tech support, but expect to wait forever to get an answer, if I get one at all.So I decided to try and install again. This time I got a prompt that said it did not install correctly and if I wanted to install (I think there was something about compatibility). So I did and the installer ran, I agreed to the license, entered my S/N. Then it wants to install DirectX 9.0c! Vista has DirectX 10! It said it needed to "upgrade" my DirectX, who the hell programmed this??? So I cancelled and will wait in hopes that Nero tech support will contact me.
