I use Acoustica CD label program but I only do printable CD/DVD's. Can't
test lightscribe.

And this link has positive feedback too.



NOW for the big question.

Where can you find drivers for the light scribe system that will run on
64 bit Window 8.1.

While I am under the impression that they no longer make the Lightscribe
drive, (Please correct me if I am wrong), I could pull the LS drive
from my Windows XP desktop and place it in a new 64 bit Windows 8.1
desktop that I would buy to replace the old system.

But if I can not get the 64-bit drivers that work on the 64 bit
computer, it does not matter if the software works or not.

I'm with you on this one. I am on a 64-bit W8 too.

Download this. Could be a driver.

File name LS_Update_1.18.27.10_.exe
File size 11.7 MB
Revision 1.18.27.10
Release Date March 14, 2013
Notes Windows 8 OS classic (non-Metro UI) --- probably means "X86 not ARM"
Requirements LightScribe enabled drive, media, and labeling software also needed.

I presume the website was closed, so they could fire some employees at HP.

Ahhh, thanks Paul. I'm running win7 64-bit & my lightscribe drivers
do work; the version is: 1.18.23.1 (could've been updated via LG).
Also LG has a firmware update for their writers to get win8 to work;
had installed the new firmware when I redid the computer from win8
back to win7. Could be that drives needed new firmware because
msft changed something in win8.

Just downloaded the 1.18.27 ver to see if that works; most likely will
need to find the drivers & save for backup unless the 1.18.23 was on
the dvd that came with the drive.
