thought AP checked for sp1 starting in the Jan release

Well... it did, and then, well... it's *supposed* to check in this new release, but Raptor needs to recode some stuff and it should detect better in the next release. :)

Anyone having issues updating Nero after installing Feb.

Nero says some of my system files are outdated, and 'Nero SmartStart', shows up in processes, but does not show any window.

I know it is not my version of Nero, as it is installed on my brothers PC (without AutoPatcherXP) and it works fine.

The Nero Verison is 6.3.0.6c

Nero 6.3.06c is a leaked version (thus far) and as such may cause problems, the last official release was 6.3.0.3 Maybe uninstalling and going back to an official version will cure your problems?

@gillmacca - I found this link, dunno if it will help you, but I cant find the version that you installed.

Try what BeLGaRaTh said, unistalling that version and install Nero Burning Rom 6.3.0.3c

Good luck

[edit]

What version of Windows are you running?

@gillmacca - This is what I have found on the net ( http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread/t-73607.html )

Don't know if it will help you, but you can give it a try.

the nero help system is actually outdated... more for nero 4 stuff...

most of the patches are actually a downgrade for my PC.. so..

anyway i suspected its because i did not do a clean install of my nero 6 and installed it over nero 5.0...

so i guess the best way is to clean my registry.. but that doesn't work despite all my efforts..

clean tool for NERO, clean sweep, various freeware stuff...

Thanks Giovanni for this solution

Apparently Nero requires updated versions of OLE files

so downloading oleupdate from the NERO FTP solved the problem

Nero 6 up and running....... :)

nero ftp

ftp://ftp6.nero.com/

Here is another one from a different forum......

I've resolved my problem:

When I've installed Nero, Nero gived me a message as a file was outdated, and must change it and needs to reboot

When I reboot, Windows gave me a message as a program has changed a system file (winaspi.dll) and ask me to accept or restore the file

I accepted, and now it works

On a other w98se, without Nero, I have the same problem

I Install Nero, but after reboot, I haven't the message of windows

If I stop install, Nero restore the file and it don't work

If iI finish the install, it works

I now search the file or files concerned to save them, because on this computer, I don't want Nero

Life is hard !!!

Well no problems what so ever here.

Tried on WindowsXP Home Retail, WindowsXP Pro. Retail, WindowsXP Home Corp., Windows XP Pro. Corp. The installed sp1 on all of them then AutoPatcher XP 4.5 all good.

Now doing all of them with sp1 alread intergrated. Have done WindowsXP Home Retail and WindowsXP Pro. Retail and no problems what so ever. :)

So all looks good here.

Dibbler, the Jan Update's name was different, and there was a bug causing it not to detect the old logs. Try patching with this:

And see if that helps. (Y)

    • Finally we can whole-heartedly recommend the AMD 9070 GRE thanks to this discount by Sayan Sen Earlier this month at Computex 2026 AMD released the Radeon RX 9070 GRE for a global audience. We reviewed the GPU and it scored 8 out of 10 for gaming and 7.5 out of 10 for productivity including things like AI performance. The card launched for $550 which we thought was a bit on the higher side, though currently you are getting the chance to get the Gigabyte Gaming variant of the GPU for just $500 thanks to this discount (purchase link under the specs table down below). As such we can finally whole-heartedly recommend this GPU. The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specs of the Gigabyte Gaming RX 9070 GRE OC is given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 2920 MHz Game Clock Up to 2340 MHz Stream Processors 3072 Memory Clock 18 Gbps Memory Size 12 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 192-bit Memory Bandwidth 432 GB/s Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Max Displays (Multi-view) 4 Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 50 mm (L × W × H) Recommended Power Supply 700 W Power Connectors 2 × 8-pin Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Gaming Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB GDDR6 GPU (GV-R907GREGAMING OC-12GD): $549.99 + $50 discount with promo code in mail => $499.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
