Aero Glass 'turned off' by Nero 7.5.9 + Reboots Vista RTM

[Chad Harris]

I noticed that with Vista RTM as opposed to 5840 and prior builds that Aero
Glass turns off under two circumstances, and the registry is already
defaulted to the settings that have been used to force it and dvm is default
on (turning it off and then on at the cmd prompt is part of the force
sequence).

I also notice that any install of Nero 7x (I haven't tried it with a Nero 6X
install) or opening up and using any of Nero's components converts from
Aero to Windows Standard white color scheme.

Has anyone noticed this or does anyone have a remedy to keep from having to
reset it every boot?

I have Nero v7.5.9.0 installed and no such issues, nor have I heard of
Nero causing such a problem from others. I've installed it normal
configuration, custom, and the special "lite" package that Klaas
Nekeman has provided for people who don't want all the bloated addins:

The Aero feature being turned off is usually related to Java
compatibility. Google for that and you'll find lots of info.

What does this do that a custom install of the normal installer can't do? I
usually choose not to install all the extra crap anyway. Are there some
features that I don't get a choice about? Maybe Nero Scout?

I'd probably use that lite installer, but I find Recode handy, while I don't
want CoverDesigner or WaveEditor. Also, amongst the actual burning tools,
ImageDrive is handy too, but still doesn't seem to work with Vista.

Yes, the latest Java update stopped ArchiCAD and Photoshop turning Aero off
for me.

Bill--

Thanks for the helpful info. I meant to make clear that I thought Aero had
been working normally, in that I didn't need to use the force aero regedits
since the values were already there and it showed up on setup.

But I have to go to display properties to reset "Aero color", and Nero turns
it off for me.

The link to the update "lite" package is interesting. I had been using the
custom install to eliminate the many add-ins. LOL am I the only one that
intuitively can't guess what the Nero add-ins would do unless I looked them
all up?

I appreciate the info.

Scout is just one of the obvious ones because you may see the icon in
Explorer. There's about 150MB of extra crap that gets installed with a
very minimal installation where only Burning Rom is selected from the
full package, but dozens of other junk is slapped on the drive for the
heck of it, none of it needed for basic CD/DVD burning.

With a minimal install from the Lite package, you end up with about
50MB of files, Nero itself is a 34MB executable file.

I don't want CoverDesigner or WaveEditor. Also, amongst the actual
burning tools, ImageDrive is handy too, but still doesn't seem to
work with Vista.

With the Lite installer, you can still select what you want out of
what's offered in the package. A full install from it is only about
60MB, about 1/6th the size of the original package.

Sounds good, but I still need the option for installing ImageDrive once it
has been updated for Vista. Ideally I would like Recode too.

I guess I'll just stick with the official install package and just get those
things I need, as this Lite package doesn't include Image Drive and Recode,
and doesn't seem to offer any benefit from doing a custom install, as far as
I can see from what you have said.

It saves you from installing about 150MB of stuff that you may not
need, which can be critical for laptops or older machines that have
smaller hard drives.

If you want other features, then you have to install the original
package and customize it, but it will still be a LOT bigger install
than the Lite package. Personally, I use the full package because it
has a few things I want and I have lots of drive space, but the option
for a smaller package is there for people who don't have the "room to
waste".
