  • I'm not sure which option to disable in Nero to stop Scout being installed? None of them seem relevant. Two screenshots as not all the options fit in one shot and I couldn't enlarge the box :o

    I expected it to say scout but don't know which one that relates to here, thanks again :)

    I'm sure that, during installation of Nero 7, is an option to configure Nero Scout. You can simply disable it then.

    OK, I'll give it a try, but when I tried it the first time I literally had no time at all before it just sponged up all the resources and I was unable to do anything, so there'd better be an option.

    It seems a stupid feature to include, the tutorial link you posted earlier shows that they know it's a resource hog, so including it on a trial software and expecting someone to go ahead and buy the product afterwards is a tall order.

    I didn't install Home either and de-selected all associations. Wasn't keen on Nero taking over my computer. Other than that, it does the job.
    I didn't have any problems with Nero Scout, I just didn't want or need the feature.
