Great! So back to my delima. Here's what I did. I tried to install a demo
(full) version of Nero Ultra from my latest MaximumPC cd. The display shows
that it was installing to my "D:\documentsand settings\user\applicationdata"
folder. Then after it downloaded the files-Nothing! I thought maybe the
installation app needed to be ran from the HD, but I cannot find where the
files went. Any Ideas?
