Hi,

I just bought a Pioneer dvd-rw drive , it has LableFlash and Lightscribe technologies as the box says. I tried the LableFlash and it works perfect with Nero 9 HD, for Lightscribe , I downloaded the last version of the driver , but no drive detected , not in the Cpanel and not in Nero , I tried the Diagnostic Utility tool as well but still nothing. restarted many times , changed my nero , but still there is no drive. even I tried that registery trick but nothing changed. and now I'm really confused >.<

I'm using Windows Vista SP2 23bit

Nero 9 HD

LightScribe ControlPanel

 

Thanks

Hi,
    The first thing to do is try the diagnostic utiity and create a report.
http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadsection/Windows/index.aspx?id=1106

it is best to run the utilty with lightscribe media insert, label side down.

This is the important part from my report:
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\Enum\0    IDE\CdRomPIONEER_DVD-RW__DVRKD08C________________1.03____\47_04449304c303035315735204c202020202020
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\Enum\Count    1
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom\Enum\NextInstance    1
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\allocatecdroms    0
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom\autorun    1
SOFTWARE\INTEL\Intel Application Accelerator    Not detected

Drives and Media:
Drive 0 : PIONEER DVD-RW DVRKD08C 1.03 175 (D, No media detected


from the current control set you can see the drive and then in the media and drive section, it shows it supports lightscribe.
