hi joe

I now realise that the system requirements make it pretty clear that the software is to be used in conjuction with Macs.

I was looking at the software to capture vid clips and music from other media and to copy and burn CDs And DVDs and Blu Ray. Also I want to use an external burner.

I used to use Nero for some of this but I now have Windows 7 and can't run that version on it.

Looks like I will have to take the purchase back and get myself something more suitable. It is no big deal the store is not far and within walking distance if I am feeling really energetic.

I didn't open the package because some outlets refuse to take back opened software purchases.

Thanks for your free Nero tip. I will look at it straight away.

Thanks as alwaYS
