I hope that someone here can help. I have been getting an error over and over when I try to use lightscribe to make a label. The error is a comunication error it says '' Unable to comunicate with the Lightscribe drive Restart PC and try to print again. I get this error with Nero and with LS Surething CD Label software. I have downloaded all the latest sofware and still no luck. PC info is as follows:
Windows XP Home SP3
Pentium 4 3.20gigs, 2gigs of DDR2 ram
Burner= LG Supermulti DVD Rewriter with Lightscribe 22X SATA connection
Discs are Memorex CDR and DVD-R with Lightscribe
I have all the latest firmware and software updates. I have even returned the drive for the same one and I still get the same error. It burns the movies and data just fine but can not make the labels. Please someone help!!!
Hello, did you get firmware update for the lg unit? they give updates to give the drive more capabilities. if you bought the drive, and added it the lg updater is on the cd with all the other software,nero,ect. it is called lg odd auto firmware updater. this may help you,and i could not hurt the system. they give me 2 updates a year(love lightscribe) other possible things, did it stop working after a nero or other software change or update? if you need further assistance reply.
