Will LightScribe Work on Windows 10?

Initial results are good… 🙂

Windows 10 and LightScribe

My LightScribe and Windows 10 System

I updated my ASUS laptop running Windows 8.1 Standard with LightScribe System Software and My LightScribe Toolbox software installed.

Windows 10 and LightScribe Results

After updating my laptop today (31 August 2015) I can confirm the following:

1: LightScribe System Software recognized

2: LG GSA E60L LightScribe DVD drive recognized in the LightScribe Control Panel.

3: The Labeling Software from my LightScribe Toolbox 2015 recognized.

4: I successfully burned my first Label using Windows 10 and LightScribe Today 🙂

Simple and Template Labelers

Update 1st August 2015
.

LightScribe Simple Labeler

The simple Labeler installed on my new Windows 10 Home system although it did initaly say it had not.

The system displayed the “Operating System Inadequate’ message. However after rebooting the laptop the Simple Labeler was indeed installed and worked perfectly.

The LightScribe Template Labeler

Unfortunately no luck here at all…

I have tried:

Administrator privileges

Compatibility settings, XP Vista and 7 but none worked.

However:

The two methods I used to fix this issue in Windows 8.1 work fine for Windows 10 as well. 🙂

So to see them in action go to my LightScribe Video Training website:

LightScribe.TV

I have not updated the information to refulect that the methods work on 10 as well as 8.1 but I will later today.

Conclusion – So Far…

The good news:

Windows 10 has not broken LightScribe any more than Windows 8.1 did… 🙂
.

The not so good news:

It has not fixed anything either… 🙁
.

Over the days, weeks and months ahead we may find ways to overcome the problems we have and as these become known I will add to this post.

It is very early days and no doubt Microsoft will issues ‘updates’ and these may/may not help…

Until then, have fun with LightScribe…

All my best.

P.S. If you are running Windows 7 then try the Free Windows Software you may still want the greater flexibility of the LightScribe Toolbox, but give the free stuff a go first.

LightScribe Template Labeler

LightScribe Template Labeler Video Tutorial

Hi there…

The best free LightScribe software by far, is The LightScribe Template Labeler

However for those of you LightScribe fans who love the LightScribe Template Labeler but are frustrated by the lack of flexibility of the software – I have something for you!

For you guys who have duplicators that run the LightScribe Template Labeler software but need a better solution that the templates provided – I have something for you too!

If you did not know, all LightScribe Duplicators use LightScribe’s proprietary .lsi files and the ONLY software in existence that uses this file format is, LightScribe’s own Template Labeler, or at least the version created for duplicators.

So therein lies the problem – BUT not any more…

I have been working with LightScribe for over 7 years and during that time (at least since the Template labeler was released by LightScribe) I have been asked by people who have duplicators if I had a solution to the issue of the lack of features that the software had.

Over 3 years ago I made it my mission to ‘reverse engineer’ the software to find a way people could use it to create ANY LightScribe label they wanted and not be limited to the templates that LightScribe provide.

It took a while to work things out but I finally came up with a solution, one that meant you could indeed, with a bit of manipulation, create and design of label and use this software to burn your discs, even with a duplicator…

To make it super easy for people, and to save me getting ‘typer’s cramp’ I created a video walk-through of the entire process. This way I know if somebody follows what I’m doing ‘on screen’ then they will have success…

However, although the video I used to have has been seen on YouTube by over 20,000 people, a later version of the Template Labeler had solved this is an esier way. My new video is a walkthrough of using the TL including this new ‘fix’

Here it is…

I hope this LightScribe Template Labeler Video Tutorial helps you get the most from the Template Labeler.

Free LightScribe Software

Free Windows Software:
System Software
Simple Labeler
Template Labeler

I just wanted to post a quick update regarding the Free Windows LightScribe Software now available on the site.

Although FREE to download and use, this software has been developed by, and is the intellectual property of, HP (Hewlett Packard).

I make it available here because as you may know HP has stopped supporting LightScribe and for 8 days (Feb 19-27 2013) they even took down their LightScribe Support website (LightScribe.Com).

Due to this action I have been contacted by many of my customers (of my Premium LightScribe Software Package) to see if I could help.

LightscribeSoftware.org is an answer to these requests, and my desire to assist the LightScribe community by making available all of the FREE software that was originally available in LightScribe.com

LightScribe Support

In addition to the free software downloads (which for the time being are linked to LightScribe.com’s original files) I am going to be adding a LightScribe Support Section in a further attempt to help and assist would be, and current LightScribe users.

I have been active in providing help and advice on LightScribe related issues since 2006, and this site is a way of combining my previous work and experience gained in helping in excess of 10, 000 fellow LightScribe users.

In the meantime please make use of the download and other resources as I add them, and of course, if you want to take your LightScribe Labeling to the next level, be sure to check out my LightScribe Toolbox, premium LightScribe Software Solution.

Thanks for visiting…
