I can't tell which ones I actually can run and which ones are just going to beg for money.

Nero Express seems to burn CDs and DVDs quite well, but I have to admit I find the huge array of programs included with Nero pretty confusing. You might try downloading the Major Update Package 1 - maybe it will accept the serial number that came with your OEM CD. Your v.6.3 version may be considerably older, so things may work differently for you. Instead it includes a dumbed-down version called "Nero Express." That includes a button titled "Nero Burning ROM" which just sends you to the Nero website - i.e., it hits you up for an upgrade. My Nero OEM disk created a Nero folder with a number of sub-folders and icons in the Start menu, but doesn't seem to include the traditional "Nero Burning ROM" at all.

I'm afraid this is the only question of yours that I can even begin to address. Do the OEM versions of Nero leave out Nero Burning ROM full version, because I don't see it in the Start/All Programs/Nero subdirectory in Windows?
