LightScribe Forum : Drives : "No Lightscribe Drives Found"
Now the lightscribe software will not recognize neither of these drives as lightscribe capable. I uninstalled and reinstalled both the lightscribe software (as well as updated it) and the drives. I tried both Surething and Droppix Label software and they both did not recognize them neither.

I tried the registry thing mentioned in the topics prior to this one, and the value was already set to zero, so that can't be the problem.

Any other suggestions?

I have a few questions.

What is your Operating System?

What is the Hardware?

Did you make any changes, like an update, upgrade, or new install?

I'm using Windows XP, with SP3

I have a HP DVD Writer 1040r MH21 and also a HL-DT-ST-DVD-RAM GSA-H55L 1.00

I did not make any changes. However, I noticed they stopped working around the same time I got the Google Installer virus/trojan, which I'm not sure if I completely gotten rid of it yet.

I'm using an HP Pavillion dv9825nr Notebook PC, running Windows Vista Home Premium SP1+.  I also have an HP PhotoSmart C8180 All-In-One Printer.  Both have built-in LS Drives.  Everything has been running LSS fine since 4/08.

I use Memorex disks and also HP disks almost all the time, because they are the only ones I seem to find.

If I have any problems with labeling a disk, I clean the center (hub) of the disk before burning the LABEL side first.

I use the LS Template Labeler for the LABEL side and NERO 9 for the DATA side.

I had trouble with the first two spindles I bought.

One disk had a bad DATA side and another (Memorex) had to be re-cleaned in the center (hub) of the disk 3 times of 20 turns of the cleaner, but it burned successfully.

I've also fooled around a little with the LS Simple Labeler.

I've developed over 110 Custom Templates and 4 Test Background Images for the LS SL, and have share them with 111 Forum Users.

I have seen some posts by other users about drives with similar model numbers, but the virus could also be the culprit.

Something in the Registry can still be the problem.  I can't find the key that the other post refers to.

Then I restarted my computer and my drives are finally recognized as lightscribe drives.

I'm currently doing a rescan and it is still detecting spyware...hopefully this will no longer affect the lightscribe software...let's see what happens.

Glad to read you are on your way to fixing the problem!

Not to wish you ill, but I wouldn't be surprised to read that the LSS had to be re-installed because it was corrupted.
