So my hard drive bit the dust awhile back and instead of getting a new computer, I decided to have my brother in law put in a new hard drive and switch what files and programs were saved from the old hard drive into the new one. My question is this, the Nero software didnt make the transition and I tried using Express Rip/Express Burn for the cd burner, only no go. Any way to fix this issue? The cd burner came with the Nero software when I bought it two years ago. Also, I can play audio/video files fine with Windows Media but when i try listening to the SOTD or watch Youtube videos, I get the video feed but no sound. Any ideas? All help will be greatly appreciated.

If your hard drive "bit the dust", how did your brother-in-law manage to extract everything from it.....just curious.

Don't know what to tell you about your version of Nero. It should reinstall fine from the original discs.

I did a quick search on google, and came up with a couple of possible answers to your audio problem regarding flash-audio......

In internet explorer, go to the Tools menu and select Manage Add-ons.... Then from the pull down menu make sure you have Add-ons that have been used by internet explorer so it displays all of your activex's and see what is disabled in the list. I don't know which one it is, I think its Shockwave ActiveX Control and Shockwave Flash Object but try enabling ALL of them and restart internet explorer and see what happens.

and if that doesn't do the trick, working within Window's registry....

Alright the problem is really the mapping of wavemapper in Windows registry as reported by one member of the forum. All you need to do is to open registry editor by going to Start menu, Run, typing regedit and then Enter. After that, in the registry editor, walk yourself through the tree in the left pane, till you reach

My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32

And then on the right pane, right click and click on New, select String value, enter "wavemapper" (without quots of course), ENTER, type "msacm32.drv", ENTER.

Close the editor. No need to restart. Video on Google and YouTube et al would work fine now.

Don't know if these will be of any help to solve the problem, but Google is a user's best friend in these instances.

Also, I've assumed you're OS is XP.

The hard drive was acting buggy and he just did a quick dump of whatever was salvagable on the hard drive into a spare computer (uber techno geek he is and a computer lifesaver), scanned it for viruses and such and then transferred it to the new hard drive. Your suggestion for fixing my other problem is greatly appreciated.
