Did you load up the DVD/CD burning application shipped with your LightScribe drive. If so what version are you running? This is critical with win 7 because it seems that with Nero you need at least version 7 or newer, and Roxio needs to be at least version 8 or 9. Even in Nero 8.5 (full purchased not SE version) there was the need to upgrade the Lightscribe Version to 1.18xx. Hope this helps. :)
