Lightscribe not working x64

Hi all,
I have a problem since upgrading to Vista 64bit from 32bit. The system no longer recognises my DVD drive as a lightscribe device.
I have run the LS diagnostic tool but no joy. I also removed and Re-installed Nero 7 Ultimate and this proved fruitless also.
Can anyone help, or has somene had the same issue?

Thanks
Markus

Have you downloaded the LightScribe software and installed it?

You might want to check that your version of Nero is up to date. I use Nero 7 with 64 bit Vista and Lightscribe works fine.

I'm having the same problem, I am using Nero 7 and I don't get the lightscribe selection in Cover designer. I have the latest software and the Lightscribe Control panel sees the drive.

Anyone have and suggestions about what I can try?

Re: Lightscribe not working x64

Check "MY COMPUTER" to see if drive shows there. If not, turn drive off, unplug from computer & power. Plug back into computer & turn on power. Check "MY COMPUTER" again & see if drive is showing. if it is then you should be able to print Lightscribe label. Good luck.........Monkg

Re: Lightscribe not working x64

Apparantly it's a known issue with some builds of x64 Vista. I tried 4 copies of Nero, also a direct download and no joy. I then tried Sonic and Cyberlink software with the same result. Went back to x86 Vista and bingo bango bongo there is was working as sweet as ever. Got a new copy of x64 and it worked just fine.
