Nero InCD4 stops responding
After installing PhotoImpact 10, Nero InCD 4 which has all the latest updates installed stops responding. If I uninstall PI 10 the problem goes away. If I install my old version PI 7 there is no problem. Any help would be apreciated?

Check any of the other forums here and you'll find numerous posts where other Ulead products interfere with installations of other products..... Get Adobe elements, it's better anyway.

I see we have another troll...any bets it's the same one?
The only real advantage to Elements is that its photo organizing feature is built into the photo editor. While some find that nice I do not, preferring a separate (and much smaller) app like Uleads Photo Explorer which comes in the PI10 bundle. Add to this to PI10's Extract Object tool, among many others, and I'm very happy with it.
Now for InCD4 vs. the world....
InCD4 isn't necessary for NERO itself to work since it's just a packet writing program that makes drag-drop to CD/DVD possible. Nice, but not necessary.
Like other packet writers InCD4 is also a huge resource hog and that's the last thing you need on an editing system.
Besides that my experience is that if anything is screwey it's InCD4, especially when installed under XP. NERO makes some very good software, but InCD4 isn't one of 'em.
Even after updating InCD4 to the latest build on an XP SP1 system without PhotoImact or any other Ulead software it was still twitchy, so IMO the problem isn't with Uleads products. More evidence of this is that I've never had a conflict between Ulead products and any CD/DVD product but InCD4. This includes Encore DVD, CDex and many others.
Hmmm.....
If you still insist on using it make sure you also have the latest NERO update installed since there was a conflict between the two up until the most recent versions of both.
In addition there are known problems between WinXP SP2 and InCD4 that affects mainly dual layer DVD burners, but who knows for sure if that's the full extent of the problem?
One problem involves slow writes due to a conflict between InCD4 and XP SP2's caching system. I may be wrong, but I think this also affects XP SP1 systems with the latest MediaPlayer and some recent patches installed.
I say this because I had the same symptoms on an XP SP1 system set up that way, and it wasn't even to a dual layer disc...just using a dual layer burner (LG DVD -/+R & DVD-RAM). Un-installing InCD4 fixed the problem.
Another problem is one that affects the battery life on laptops.
According to NERO fixing these requires the latest InCD4 update, which bypasses XP's caching system. Microsoft is working on a fix from their end, but it probably won't be done until SP3.
I just avoid all the drama-queen stuff by uninstalling InCD4 on all my systems.
