I am a Lightscribe Newbie... and need help.  I have an hp dv6 2150us with a LS-enabled drive.  I asked an hp chat advisor it comes with the LS sys and template softwares and was told yes.  How do I start the program?  When I click on START, ALL PROGRAMS, I do not see it.  I then went the Common Files folder and there it was LS_HSI (file type= Windows Installer Package 2/24/10).  Should I double click on this?

Hi ESE !

After installation, you should have a Desktop Shortcut pointing as follows:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\LightScribe Template Labeler\TemplateLabeler.exe"

(x86) is the 32bit Program Files on a 32/64bit system such as Vista.

Hello again ESE !

The Diagnostic Utility Shortcut should point as follows:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\LightScribe Diagnostic Utility\LSDiagnosticUtility.exe"

I'm posting it here so other can see it too.

I found it! ...I was so glad that I burnt 2 labels even before I edited my videos.  Thanks again!

Hello again ED !

How I create Labels Containing a Track List

  • I've put together some stuff I use to create CD Labels.
  • I wrote up the procedure I use in a PDF File.
  • I make PDF Files of any Documentation I create.
  • I have V1.14.32.1 of the LSS & since Version 1.17.90.1 of both the LSS & the corresponding Diagnostic Utility.
  • I include an "Additional Stuff" Folder which contains anything I create while developing My Custom Templates.
  • I created ZIP Files for 6 Windows Vista "Right-Click" Directory Commands I developed to support making Track Lists & other procedures I use.
  • I "ripped off" the "Template Playlist Beta" (For which LS has NO documentation, NO source, & LAID OFF the Technician) "Full" & "Half" Disk Templates; fixed them; & then create a ZIP File of the two templates.
  • I have a PDF that contains "Template vs Simple Labelers" - a comparison of what is the structure of each template.
  • I found 5 FREE Tools I use for development, & have more I am testing.
  • I have a PDF which contains a "Mini Resume" & a lot of "LightScribe Stuff" I've researched.
  • I continually develop PDFs on the Tools I use for development.
  • I've developed 234 Custom Templates (in 40 Collections + 5 Private Ones), 108 Images (in 12 Collections), 174 Icons, and 4 Test Background Images for the LS SL.
  • I developed 4 Test "borders" for the Simple Labeler.
  • I developed a New Custom Wedding Template for one Forum User.
  • I developed 11 Custom Templates for 5 other Forum User from Sample Images they provided or Detailed Descriptions.
  • I developed 4 Custom Templates which use Circular Text Items & Circular, Oval, & Diamond Shaped Images.
  • I developed 6 User Defined Functions in VBA for Excel.
  • I fixed one LSL File for another User by changing a White Outline of some Text to Black.
  • I created Previews of all my Custom Templates & Images & have Mini-Catalogues of both as PDF Files.
  • I created 174 ICONS & a PDF Preview.
  • I tend to concentrate on Filling the entire disk surface especially with TEXT, Bold, Outline, White Text, & More Font Control.
  • I published 7 Newsletters & a List of Newsletter Topics about what I've been doing & 2 other FREE Programs I've been researching.
  • I have studied the XML parts of the 2007 Versions of Microsoft Office Access, Excel, & Word.
  • I have all this & more in My MS Windows Live Skydrive.
  • I am working to develop more Custom Templates.
  • I am sharing my work with 209 Forum Users.

Send me a Private MESSAGE containing:

  • Your correct E-mail Address (REQUIRED BY SITE to send links & it's NOT included automatically in a Private MESSAGE);
  • Your full name (For my records); &
  • A nickname you use (For my records).

I am retired on a disability, & I do this TOTALLY FREE.

I also try my best to keep E-mail Addresses confidential. I use "Blind Carbon Copies" when I send out anything.

I only occasionally send out Special Notifications, if I do something major.

The only "COST" is your E-mail Address which is REQUIRED by My Windows Live Skydrive to allow access to the stuff I've developed.
