Won't scribe I have no problems with read/write but I get a fail message every time I try to scribe a lightscribe dvd or cd. Internal software error message though I have tried 4 different scribing software.

Hi...

If your LG LightScribe drive will not need drivers to work as a 'normal' DVD drive as this function is Plug n' Play.

BTW - You have a great drive there... I have GSA E10L and a GSA E40L - Both fantastic drives...

However to use LightScribe you will need both:

1: LightScribe System Software
and
2: LightScribe Labeling Software.

You can download the System Software here:

And FREE LightScribe Labelng Software here:

Happy Scribing...

That is the software not the DVD burner. Change to a different software.

go to program files.

1. Clean Drive: commercial cd/dvd cleaner + air compressed can with narrow pipe inserted into device to reach lens.
2. Update you sw from http://www.lightscribe.com/ (Control panel, diagnostic tool, application)
3. be sure service is started: as Administrator go to Control panel/Administrative tools/Services
   double-click on Lightscribe Service, and if it says disabled change it to automatic, then "start service" in the left pane if is already started and set to automatic stop and restart it you don't have to reboot to see results.

It worked for me on HP6710b with internal drive and with liteon external burner

hi check make shure that your light scribe driver in install and you cd as a light scribe certification

First off ,I have herd that if you label some of the software you write on dvd 's on they won't play! but I mite suggest trying uninstalling your labeler in uninstall and reinstalling it (make sure you competely unistall it ( try your pc off and ) and reinstalling it lala linda
