Where to start...
System Info:
MS Win 2000 SP4
Pentium 4 @ 2.6GHz
4GB Ram
32GB Free on HD
3DLabs Wildcat VP760 Graphics Card w/Win 2000 DualView Driver.
If you need to know anything else, let me know.
No spyware, etc. or unknown processes running on the system (I'm sure).
OK, into the problem area. Was running an NEC DVD+/-R drive as Master (on Secondary IDE channel) and a CD-RW as Slave. The NEC started having some troubles, so I decided to upgrade it. I went with an HP PR595A (aka Model #GWA-4166B) which is a Multi-Format, dual layer, with Lightscribe. I installed the drive in the same master slot to begin with, and installed the most up to date API listed at the LightScribe Site (1.4.44.1, as seen here - bottom download link).
I also needed to update my Nero, so I did that as well to verson 6.6.0.18 (the latest, released 11/14/05, Monday).
The first thing I noticed was that I could not get Nero to regognize the drive as a Lightscribe drive. I have not burnt a label on it yet, because it recognizes it only as a DVD+/-RW, CD-R/W, etc. There is no option for Lightscribing anywhere. I need to know how I can get this thing to communicate as a LightScribe drive.
But, that is a minimal problem, as I have found more serious issues to troubleshoot.
I swapped the drives around, hoping to find relief in the registry/IDE settings picking the drive up differently, so the DVD drive is now Slave, and the CD drive is now Master. Also, upon another recommendation for help from a similar situation someone had, I made this change:
I then found a newer more up to date LS_HSI.exe driver (version 1.4.52.1) by way of e-mail HP Tech and them pointing me back to Nero's site (which has newer drivers than their's???). So I installed it. Still no help.
OK, the more serious issue lies in this.
When I insert a disc, CD, DVD, Audio or Data (haven't tried Video DVD) - my computer will throw the following error in the event log 3 times, then my computer will reboot:
The only CD I have successfully loaded was a Video-CD, and it played the Audio track as well as the Video.
I have successfully burnt a CD on the drive as well.
I suppose we can start from there. Hope some of that makes sense.
Thanks in advance, and thanks for trying to help.

I didn't have the error in the App Log, but there was no difference in anything when I changed it in the reg, so I left it. That is all the changes to there.Hi, here a reply from The Netherlands in Europe. I had the same problem with Lightscribe, but I have the answer.
First you have to go to the Event Viewer. In the Application Log you see the following error of LightSrcibe Service:
Win32 Error : Function: [HurricaneClientProxy::OpenCDROMDevice] Error opening class device \\.\CDROM0 returned Win32 Error: 5 Description: Access is denied.
You can solve this problem as follows:
Choose Start > Run. Type "regedit" in the Open text box and then click OK.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\allocatecdroms
Change the valuation of 1 in 0
That's it and LightScribe will work
