    Thanks for the info Nick. I'm downloading now. I had 5.5.10.54. Anyone know what was changed in this 5.5.10.56 version?

    Saw too many reports about bugs and problems using it. Especially when trying to burn DVDs. Not sure where all that stands now. But since I did not have any problems with what I was using....well you know..."if it ain't broken, don't fix it". :rolleyes:

    Edit: Hmmm! Speak of the devil. See http://www.majorgeeks.com/vb/showthread.php?t=29542

    Wonder what version is being used?

    Hi chaslang
    As far as i am aware this update provides more support for a wider range of drives. It also has better support of windows media files. I must point out that this is my own personal view point and experience of Nero. Hopefully another member will have something further to add on what this update included :)

    I'm just wondering why this update is special. Weren't all the old Nero 5.5.x.x versions available for download usable for updates?

    A lot of us recieved Nero 5x with our burners. I like it, and upgrades are free up to the 6.0 version. I don't feel the need to spend $ when 5x works just fine.

    That is correct and Nick did point this out

    That's not what it sounds like at all. He did say " the update can be used for updating from any previous installed Nero 5.5", but in saying that he also implies that this is a unique property of this update. That's not true. You've always been able to download the current version of Nero 5.5.x.x -- the demo version on the website -- and it would update your existing full copy to the newest version.

    So, again, I ask: what's the point of the thread? Except for notification that an update is available, there's no new information.

    Yeah Hi Da Chicken
    I misread your question, i cant speak for Nick in his interpretation of this update,but from what i gather hes just informing any one who has a 5.5 xx
    version that a newer update is now available to download.
    A lot of people thought there would be no further support for this version since Ahead have moved on to version 6, so anyone currently using this software may not have bothered checking for updates.

    Nick does a real good job here keeping us guys informed of updates for many programs,hardware drivers, windows updates etc and i cant speak for everybody but its much appreciated by myself and long may it continue.

    So to answer your question, the point is just simply notification of a program update nothing more nothing less

    Oh, I know that. I can see his activity in the anti-virus forum. :) It just seemed a bit odd to me, I guess. And that's what I assumed it was, until this thread got all kinds of attention. Then I was just confused.
