TSGL: Fw: cd read/write troubles

[Dieter @ California]

Joe Titone ...

InCD does not automatically install in the basic Nero installation.  You 
have to go to Custom Installation to give it a check mark and it will be 
installed.  That holds true for other parts of the program.  You have to 
check ... to be installed in its entirety from the disk ...  otherwise only 
parts will be installed that they consider the basic installation.  This 
holds true for all software, especially large programs.  They only give you 
what they consider you need ... they never load everything that is 
available.  My Nero 7.5.9.0 Ultra Edition occupies 450 MB with everything 
installed.
