hi guys, thx for your reply. actually no, im using windows xp home, and still got the problem of setup doesnot go through. I try on 2 others computer (windows xp pro) of my friend, they all got the same problem. I don't know why. It stuck at the nero express windows, and the only way i can have it finish it, is to right click nero script icon in system tray and click "quit". i afraid the setup not completed and might incur some problems in future. the nero express windows look like this : note: I reproduced the image, as i'm just lazy to install it again, however it look just exactly the same. btw, is the plugin of dvd-video include in this nero lite? (http://www.nero.com/ena/DVD_Video_Plug_in_InfoPage.html), am i able to burn dvd video from an mpeg file? what does the plugin do indeed? (encoding?) any suggestion? thx
