Lightscribe and XP - softwares needed?

Question

I bought an HP laptop dv6000 series more than a year and a half ago. It had windows vista along with it.

I decided to move back to windows XP, finding it more suitable for my needs and requirements.

I never used the Lightscribe, which was mentioned in the offer.

Now I'm wondering, will lightscribe work fine with XP? What softwares will I have to download?

Are lightscribe CD's/DVD's expensive?

Answer 1

Go to www.lightscribe.com You'll be able to find software there, and it should work fine

Answer 2

You must have a LightScribe-enabled disc drive (either built into your desktop or notebook PC or an external drive).

To see if you have a LightScribe-enabled disc drive, look for the LightScribe logo.

--------------------------------------...

The type of LightScribe software you use will depend on what's bundled with your hardware.

You can also use the free LightScribe Template Labeler (Windows), or LightScribe Simple Labeler (Windows, Mac, and Linux). These easy-to-use tools allow you to design labels in just a few simple steps.

In addition to label-making software, you'll need LightScribe System Software. Each hardware manufacturer will provide the optimal version for their systems, but universal versions are also available in our Downloads section for Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. In some cases, the LightScribe System Software is included in the labeling application. Otherwise, it needs to be installed separately.

LightScribe CDs and DVDs have a special coating that interacts with the laser in your LightScribe-enabled disc drive. You must use LightScribe CDs and DVDs in order to burn a label onto your discs.

A few things to remember about LightScribe media:

LightScribe label designs appear grayscale (like a black-and-white photograph).

LightScribe CDs come in gold, yellow, orange, green, red, and blue. Currently, LightScribe DVDs only come in gold.

LightScribe media works in any LightScribe drive.

disks are more expensive than normal disks at present because they are  fairly new to the market

Answer 3

you have to download software http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSecti...  in order for it to work.
