Which version of Nero are you using? Retail or cracked Nero? You may need to use this guide depending on your version - please read it fully before starting:

It is likely that the problem is caused by faulty filter implementation.
Go through the following steps to rectify this issue:

1)
Rename the folder "Ahead" in folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\
into "Ahead_2".
When reinstalling Nero, the folder "Ahead" will be created again.
The Nero's DirectShow filters and Codecs will also be installed and registered again.
As soon as the folder "Ahead" is once again created in the directory
C:\ Program Files\Common files\
the directory "Ahead_2" can be erased.

2)
Erase the contents of the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Ahead\NeroDigital
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Ahead\NeroRecode
C:\Documents and Settings \"USERNAME"\Application Data\Ahead\NeroVision\NVFACache

3)
Make sure that you have your Nero 7 serial number ready.
The serial number is structured as follows:
1Cxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
It can be found on a sticker on the jewel case.
If Nero is installed on your computer the serial number can be found as follows:
a)
Open Nero StartSmart and go into Nero ProductCenter by clicking on the "Nero" logo in the top left corner.
Click on the index box "Serial Numbers" to view the serial number.
b)
Alternatively, you can find the serial number in the Registry:
Open the "Registry" by
- clicking on “Start” in Windows
- clicking on “Run”
- typing in "regedit" into the field "Open" and verifying with "OK"
The serial number is found in the following directory:
HHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ahead\Installation\Families\Nero 7\Info
- find the entry “serial7”
- double-click on “serial7”
- the serial number can be found here

4)
The General CleanTool should be used before reinstalling Nero to completely remove all Nero entries from your computer.
The General CleanTool can only be implemented if you are logged in as Administrator.
Warning: all Nero plug-ins will be removed as well!
Download the General-Cleantool from
ftp://ftp9.nero.com/attach/General-CleanTool_7.zip
and extract it on the hard drive by using WinZIP or WinRAR.
Start the General-Cleantool by double-clicking on the .exe file.
Choose
> Clean All
> Clean
> Deinstallation of all Nero products.
Restart the PC.
All Nero entries in the Registry are erased.

5)
Afterwards, reinstall Nero by downloading the current Nero version from our website:
http://www.nero.com/nero7/eng/nero7-demo.php
Enter your serial number during the installation process.

6)
The folder "Ahead" was created again in the directory
C:\ \Program Files\Common Files\
Folder "Ahead_2" can now be erased if you haven’t already done so

software to merge exe's with front-end menu

Hi Gary,
I have a bunch of .exe audio visual shows made with Pics to Exe and ProShow. I am looking for software to roll a bunch of them into one executable with autorun and then some sort of menu so that the user can click on a menu item and the appropriate show will play. It must not be possible to extract individual shows from the final product.

I looked at dvd flick but it doesn't seem quite right. If I knew a generic term for it, I could search myself. Any suggestions, please?

Many thanks.

Are they packed Shockwave or SWF files (packed into an exe)? Try searching for SWF unpacker or shockwave unpacker or Flash unpacker. You might need a decompressor as well.

They are essentially SWF files which play on the internet which have been repackaged into an EXE file with a built in player.... if I am not mistaken.

Try that and then report back here.

AutoRun

Hi,
I have found AutoRun Typhoon and am evaluating it. So far, it meets my requirements.

Thanks

oh oops, I just saw that you said you did NOT want people to extract them... sorry
