I recently upgraded from Windows ME to XP.  As a result I reloaded all software including NSM but now I'm experiencing a problem that's new to me and exclusive to the NSM software.  When using the internet various sites automatically lauch the auto installation for NSM.  

How do I go about fixing or disabling the auto install?

Thanks,
Dave

Apologies for bumping this 8-month-old topic, but since no one has replied yet, and I suffer the same problem as the OP, it would be most helpful if someone with knowledge and/or magic can solve our problem here.

Here's what I'm running:
Windows XP Pro SP2
NSM 1.54 for a Neuros I
Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.6
Windows Media Player 10
Java Runtime Environment/Plug-in ver. 1.4.2_11

When I visit Amazon.com and click on a song preview link, such as this one:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/wma-pop-up/B0009UBYRE001001/ref=mu_sam_wma_001_001/102-3277456-1036930

Clicking on the link, which should launch the Windows Media Player for streaming, instead launches a Neuros Synchronization Manager installation package installer three times in a row. Is this an NSM problem, a WMP problem, or a Java problem (NSM uses Java to operate)? The same thing happens if you launch the WMP link from within IE as well.

The resulting error box states: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'NSM_154.msi' in the box below."

What's up, Luckychunk?!?!

I think I've run in to that type of problem as well, it wasn't with Internet links but a certain filetype which had nothing to do with NSM would launch the NSM installer.  I never figured out what was causing this but my solution was to uninstall NSM and use NDBM to manage the music on my Neuros.  I'm much more satisfied with NDBM than I ever was with NSM.  You can download it here:
http://neurosdbm.sourceforge.net/

FYI: NSM runs on the .NET Framework (not Java) and NDBM is a Java app.  Your version of the JRE should run NDBM just fine.

Shouldn't it be possible to locate the file type associated with NSM and unassociate it to NSM? I didn't know people still used NSM.
