Since installing DVDFab Version 5's, I can no longer access Nero using the DeskTop StartSmart Shortcut. I have tried all sorts of things - did a clean uninstall and reinstall of both Nero and DVDFab 5 with no change. The loading circle of Nero starts off very slowly compared to normal, continues for about a minute then disappears - and then my computer freezes.
After about a week of trying everything and finally removing only DVDFab 5 (4 is stll on my system and I did not touch this at all) the shortcut works again. I have now tested this for 3 days with DVDFab 5 removed and everything is fine again. NO Other programs have been added.

Can there be something in 5 that is conflicting with Nero StartSmart??

The problem is only with StartSmart, as there is no problem with opening each of the seperate components of Nero, if I access them through Start>All Programs>Nero etc.

My other system which runs exactly the same OS but only has DVDFab HD Decrypter active has absolutely no problems either.

Any suggestions
