Was using Nero 6.3 untill  they came out with Nero 7 Ultra. Upgraded and everything going fine. Always like to kep everything updated. First update went smoothly, second update ran into problems with missing files and had to uninstall and reinstall; back then you could pick and choose the update packages you needed.  Waited a month, figuring that if they had update issues it would be corrected by then, went back to update and Picked the ones I needed, foregoing InCD. Updated just fine. Yesterday went in to do the latest update and ran into problems; during the update install it removed some files to install the new ones during the course of the install I needed to close some programs: should have seen it coming. In order to update you have to open product setup, which means Nero is running. I needed to close it along with Yahoo Widgets Analog clock, which I did and hit retry. Came back that I needed to close Yahoo Widgets wheather, which I did and hit retry. Came back that I needed to close Yahoo Widgets calender, which I did and hit retry. This time it continued with the installation but started to get error messages. If I remember correctly 999 error code associated with a search.dll and a library.dll, don't remember the third one. Had to stop the process because of the continual error popup, using ctrl, alt, delete, but by then it had already deleted a lot of files. Needless to say Nero would not start.
Under add/remove: removed Nero 7 but left behind many, many registry entries. Two hours later had removed majority of the registry entries manually. Reinstalled original Nero 7 and running fine. Would like to be able to update again, at least up to the point that I had foregoing this latest update. Since they don't give you the option to "save" updates, any suggestions?

Usually before update you have to remote previous version, maybe your system was already overloaded so there were so many conflicts? I never had the issues you mentioned
