Not essential service and can be disabled by editing the msconfig/startup section.

NMIndexStoreSvr.exe is part of the Nero Scout utility. It is installed with Nero 7/8 and scans your computer for media files to catalog. As such it can be safely terminated, or disabled altogether via Start - Programs - Nero - Toolkit - Nero Scout - remove tick 'Integrate Nero Scout in Windows Explorer'
Geoff (further information)

perhaps u could go to Nero Scout from Nero itself, that is when you click to start Nero, go to toolkit, select Nero Scout, unclick the Enable Nero Scout button.

Eats resouces like mad. Is a longstanding Nero bug. I disabled it thru Settings Admin tools Services. It is listed as NMIndexing Service. Hope that will stop it. (Unchecking "Nero Scout" doesn't seem to stop it).

NMindexstoresvr - I installed only the Nero 8.1.1.0 and then upgraded to a purchased license. I never had Nero 7, yet I constantly get a Windows problem with it. Debugging does nothing and I simply choose "Don't report" and it goes away. Seems mor frequent when PC is on but idle. Search shows three occurences on my "C" drive, one is the .exe, one is a .dll and one other one. I question what would happen if I removed the 3 files?

I tried various suggestions to solve this problem, its to do with Nero Scout a non essential part of the Nero suite, the only fix I found that seems to of worked with no side effects was to disable Nero Scout..programs/nero 7/tools/nero scout choose option disable- then go to... c:\program files\common files\ahead\Lib.... locate the file NMIndexstoresvr.exe and rename it .... NMIndexstoresvr.bak.... I found this is the best solution and works fine .... seeing as Nero do not have the answer

Run by Nero Scout as an indexing service: often causes silent crashes. Disable Nero Scout (by opening it and unchecking everything) and problems should be solved
