ENGLISH Installation 2 Installation
2.1 Installation
You can set up Nero 6 with no problems using the installation program.
To install the software under Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, you must have administrator rights.
Carry out the following steps: 1. Close all Windows programs and close any anti-virus software which may be running. 2. Insert the Nero 6 CD into the CD/DVD drive. 3. An installation menu appears, in which you can install the desired components. Click on the appropriate button to start the installation wizard.
If the program does not start automatically, select the CD/DVD drive containing the Nero 6 CD in Explorer. Double click on the ‘setup.exe’ program in the main directory.
4. In the welcome window, you can once again see what you want to install. Click on Next to continue with the installation. 5. Carefully read through the license agreement. If you agree to the terms of the license agreement, click on ‘I accept all terms of the preceding License Agreement’. If you do not accept the license terms, you cannot install Nero 6. Click on Next to continue. 6. Complete the fields ‘User name’ (e.g. first name and surname), ‘Organization’ (e.g. company) and ‘Serial number’. You can find the serial number on/in the Nero 6 packaging. Once you have made your entries, click on ‘Next’. The installation wizard then automatically installs the selected program. 7. After the automatic installation, you can either restart your computer or exit the installation wizard. 8. To close the installation menu, click on ‘Finish’. To install further components, click on the appropriate button and carry out the installation with the aid of the wizard. 9. If necessary, restart your PC so that all the new settings take effect.

The new program Nero StartSmart is the command center for the Nero 6 product family and makes it easier to use the comprehensive software programs. Once you have started Nero StartSmart, all you have to do is select the desired category (e.g. Audio), then choose a task (e.g. Make Audio CD) and the relevant software starts automatically.

3.2.5 Assigning programs Clicking on a task in Nero StartSmart automatically opens the appropriate program with which you wish to perform that task. If there are a number of programs present that the tasks can be performed with, you can change the program assignment and choose the program that you would prefer to use. Many tasks, such as creating an audio CD, can be performed with more than one program, and you can change the program assignment. For example, if you do want to use Nero Burning ROM 6 rather than the default application Nero Express 6 to create an audio CD, proceed as follows: 1. Click on the button on the left-hand side of the program interface in order to display the Nero StartSmart extended features, if they are not already displayed. Click on one of the category icons at the top of the screen to display tasks. 2. Move the mouse to the task concerned and the application which opens when you click on the task will appear in the extended area.
3. Click on the drop down button next to the program names and select the application you want to start.
4. Check the ‘Use as standard application’ check box if you always want this program to open in the future.
5. Click on the button with the green arrow to save the change and open the desired program.

Nero Express 6 starts automatically and the selection window for the drives and the final burning settings opens up.
2. As the source drive, you should select the drive containing the disc to be copied.
3. As the destination drive, select the recorder you want to use to copy the disc.
4. In the ‘Quick Copy’ section, you can determine how the disc is to be copied. If this option is selected, the copy is made directly, i.e. from drive to drive. This method is quick but is susceptible to errors. If this option is not selected, an image file for the original disc is first of all created on the hard drive and the image file is then burned. This method takes longer and the size of the image file, and therefore the required hard disc space, corresponds to the quantity of data to be copied from the original disc. In addition, you can also make the following settings: Writing Speed Select the speed for the burning process. Number of copies Select the number of copies to be burned.

5.2 FAQ
1) Where can I find step by step directions for using Nero Burning Rom 6, Nero Express 6, NeroVision Express 3, and Nero BackItUp? We have very detailed ‘Step by Step’ PDF manuals for all our listed programs on our website at http://www.nero.com. You will find them in the Support section.
2) One of my encoders has expired! What should I do? For licensing reasons, we are only permitted to integrate test versions into Nero 6. This gives you the chance to test out the encoder functions for a limited time. When the test version has expired, must you must purchase the corresponding encoder plug-in. You can do this at http://www.nero.com in the online shop. We decided to do take this step so that only those users who actually want to use these functions would have to pay the license fees due.

4) Where can I download an update? All updates and test versions of other products from the Ahead family can be found at http://www.nero.com.
