Hi there,

I am trying to upgrade from Vista Business to Ultimate. I put in my product key & then it checks for compatibiliy issues, I get the following result -

You must make the following changes before installing Windows
Close Windows installation, go to Programs, and uninstall the following programs:
Nero - Burning Rom
The compatibility report will be saved to the current Windows desktop.

I downloaded a trial version of Nero 7 but have uninstalled it and there is no trace of it in 'Add/Remove programs' or 'Program and Features' as it is now known in Vista. I have also run a good registry cleaner which found quite alot of problems related to NERO remains in the registry, but after I cleaned these I still got the same problem when trying to upgrade. HOW can I rid of NERO once and for all........

Thanks any advice

Brilliant that worked perfectly, but now It gets stuck at 0% at the start of the upgrade and then I get an error message saying something like 'Ensure the install files are available and then restart installation'. I will find out the exact message tomorrow.......How annoying after that bit of success. Its never easy is it!!! :whistling:
