When you install NERO 5.5.8.2 you can get either the old classic interface
or the new Nero Express interface which is more desirable, problem is it
will install either way and you have no control nor can you change over
after install, what gives.

Whether NERO v5.582 pops up with the "Classic" (read: SUPERIOR)
interface or the new Nero Express interface is a function of the
serial number.

To make it crystal clear, certain serial numbers will have it run as
NERO EXPRESS while others will have it run as NERO CLASSIC.

So for 1st timers, what is the difference in looks between Express &
Classic when it starts???? My copy of 5.5.8.2 starts with a wizard when
the nero icon is selected....

Does this /w have any permanent, lasting, effects?
Or can one simply use it just to see what the new Wizard is like,
and then revert to the normal set-up, i.e., is it just a 'switch'?

I recall that when I installed 5.5.7.8 (no previous Nero) it
sets it to use the Wizard by default, which I soon switched off,
because there's hardly any options there. But if this new Express
or Wizard or whatever is better, maybe I could recommend it to others,
because I don't expect I'll abandon the dialog panels (using 5.5.8.2
now).

Yes, not only it is quite attractive, but it offers more options
than the old Wizard. That /w was great detective work!

Now, since /w blatantly refers to /wizard, why in the world would
they not replace the old wizard completely with this?
That's because once one goes to the Classic "powerful" interface,
the Use Wizard option on the Help menu will bring up still the
old wizard... I guess we're supposed to test this out?

And why is this not even mentioned on the History web site page?

I'm running at 8 x 6, and in my case (I started it from a DOS
window) it came up fine occupying a little bit less than
the equivalent of a 640x480 pic.

Carlos,

You could also make a copy of the Nero shortcut and modify the target to include the /w switch, rename it, and have both available to use whenever. Personally, I don't care much for the Express version and am more comfortable with the classic interface, but, of course, to each...

Sure enough, but I just wanted to see what it was like and I've
already recommended it to a friend as a better interface than
the official wizard. I also was particularly interested in some
assurance that this thing (undocumented, it seems, since there's no
updated Help available for download) was not about to make Nero
"switch" (pardon the pun) forever to the Express interface and
would require a removal and reinstallation to use the classic
again.

Very nice interface and a nice alternative to EZCD and the old one.

However, a few notes:

1) You have both options of burning a DATA CD as well as a MP3 CD.
For most people who already have MP3 files at hand, don't use MP3 CD
mode! It'll check every file for MP3 compatibility (takes FOREVER) and
it's only doing so to make sure all of the files you burn to a MP3 CD to
playback in a MP3 CD player is in or will be converted to MP3 format.
Nice if you're burning WAVE files, terrible if you're burning MP3
files. Instead, simply dump all the files into a DATA CD layout and
you'll be on your way in moments.

2) The file browser window takes a hiccup to read all of the files in a
directory. They're trying to be fancy here, but not as lighting quick
to use as can be. Not so slow however that you'll shoot it. It does
come up as a seperate window, so that's a bit annoying as well. When
you add a file, the file window gets pushed behind the Nero window, so
you have to move windows around to get the file window back up to the
front again. Annoying and they should simply have docked it to the side
of the main window instead.

3) Have no way to specify the Mode and File system options when burning
discs using this mode. You can't specify ISO 1 mode + Joliet or ISO 1
only or ISO 1 + Joliet + relaxed file naming, etc. While this does not
have any affect on people who mostly use Windows, it's a sorry missing
feature when you're trying to make sure a disc is as compatible with as
many OSs as possible.

4) Doesn't all fit in a 800x600 screen well when the toolbar is at the
top (why put it at the top? Click on the START button and see how far
your mouse has to move if it's at the bottom to get to a program in the
PROGRAMs folder vs. at the top), until you move the window about a bit.

5) Pretty as heck. Already dropped in two icon shortcuts for normal and
pretty modes.

I'm using 'two icons' as well with 5582 but I put 5577 on my daugter's
machine and the "Nero" button switches between the two modes. I can't
replicate this on mine.

If you do this, you can go to the other interface by clicking the Nero
button. It says you can toggle back to the Express interface, but how?

And of course asking Nero is a waste of time.
