First backup the registry by doing the following.
Click on Start>Run,copy and paste the following bold text into the 'Open:' space,then press Ok.
regedit /e c:\registrybackup.reg
It won't appear to be doing anything,that's normal.
Your mouse pointer may have an hour glass along side it for a minute or so.
Please be patient and continue when the hour glass disappears.

Download The Avenger Version 2.0 by Swandog46.
Unzip/extract it to your desktop.

Start up The Avenger by double clicking on the sword icon on your desktop

Copy and paste ALL the following text inside the code box below into the "Input script here:" window:

Registry keys to delete:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nero

Leave the box "Scan for rootkits" checked.
Then click on the "Execute" button.
Then press OK at the prompts to reboot/restart your PC.
After your pc has restarted,post the entire contents of C:/Avenger.txt into your next reply.

Download RegSeeker 1.55.zip
Right click on a blank area of your desktop,click 'New'>'Folder',rename it 'RegSeeker'.
Unzip/extract RegSeeker.zip to that new folder.
Launch RegSeeker.
Click on 'Find in Registry' at the top.
In the 'Search for:' space,copy and paste:
Nero
Then press 'Search!'.
Once the search has finished,highlight any one entry with a single left click.
Then click on 'Select' at the bottom.
In the menu that pops up click on 'Select all'.
Now right click anywhere on the yellow highlighted area 'Delete selected items'.
Once they've all been deleted,search again.
Keep searching and deleting until all the Nero entries are gone.
Close the program when it's finished.

Restart your pc.

Is this an internal or external (usb or firewire) drive? Have you tried using the dvd as a boot device??
