I downloaded Nero 8 (supposed to work with Vista) from an american site, but when installing all the dialogue windows show in Thai, and there are many of them needing choices.

I checked Regional and language options, these are ''current format English UK", location Thailand, keyboard EN UK and Thai and ''systems locale'' Thai. I changed location and systems locale with the same result after a restart.

Very strange, other software I installed showed English.

Any clues???

Change all settings from Thai to English even the Location and remove the Thai Keyboard from Settings. Uninstall Nero 8 and use an Registry cleaner after that to clean the registry. Install Nero again. If that works, you can change the settings back!

I can add to this that I managed to install Nero 8 responding to the thai dialogue windows and that the application language when opening the application is Thai. No way I can use this software, thus uninstalling and playing with Regional and language settings again...

Before you install Nero, you need to change the Non-Unicode settings to English in the Advanced Tab in the Regional and Language section.

Nero 8 Clean Tool

Do you really need Nero? I have not bothered to install any burning programs as the built in facilities seem to work for me - but admit I am no power user.

I had this too.

Open 'Nero Control Centre' (in Nero Toolkit), go to the Languages (speech bubble) options, tick English and untick Thai, then 'Change Language Now' (big button in the top right).

markwhite,

Thanks, that did the trick.

Funny this choice of languages, if only you start with one you can read

To Lopburi3:

I started using Vista on a new computer one week ago, tried to copy a CD and got WAV files.

I ripped the CD to mp3, did not find a way to copy the CD in CD format.

Then was unable to burn CD in CD format, made an mp3 cd which then could not be read by my Panasonic DVD-S47 which claims to read mp3s amongst other formats.

I then downloaded a trial version of Ashampoo which obviousely cant convert mp3 to CD format.

So I now have this NERO 8 I can read in English and it took 3 minutes to select and burn the mp3 converted in CD format.

I might have it all wrong, but that's why I like Nero.

Now if Ashampoo could stop mentionning me how many trial days I have left....

the way to copy back digital music (wma/mp3) to a CD as an audio CD (not data) is through Windows Media player (it has been for sometimes so it's not "new" in Vista), just create a playlist of all your songs, you've got a big "burn" button on the menu bar... and you are set !
