[darkassain]

funny thing i actually have the opposite problem with ff not being able to upload to megaupload....
but then again i have no script, adblock, and flashblock
no worries

here it is with both the VersionNT fixed (so it wont say you have an unsupported system) and the condition adminuser removed....

edit: it has come to my attention that editing the msi is violating the EULA and against forum rules of "hacking" thx for understanding....

as of right now im downloading the labeling app

and will update this as i progress and will upload the app when i confirm...

ok needed to edit the msi to get it working but it works...
will upload in a few minutes
my ISP is a little flaky

ok here you go the disc labeler

Here are my instructions on how to do this with the installer from Lightscribe's website so you don't have to worry about downloading software from someone else:

1. Go here to download the latest system software: LightScribe - Downloads - Windows

2. Once downloaded double click on the *.exe file to run the installer. Once it gets to the "operating system is not adequate" error, leave the window open and do not click "OK" just yet.

3. You will now have to navigate to the temporary directory to where the MSI file it extracted is. This can be found in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp". In my case, it created a directory called "{494F8C6F-CB8A-4AF2-B85D-A238A88DB575}".

4. Copy the LS_HSI.msi file to some other location, then click on "OK" to that dialog box and the directory should automatically delete itself.

5. Next you will have to use a hex editor to edit the part of the installer where it checks the NT version. I used XVI32 which is freeware. Open the LS_HSI.msi file in the editor and go to the hexadecimal address "19C976" or alternatively search for VersionNT until you see 600.

6. Change VersionNT = 600 to 601. and save and exit.

7. The installer may complain about not having administrator rights for some reason. I am in a domain environment so I right clicked the installer and ran it as "Administrator".

8. Repeat the same process for the Template Labeler program. The hex address for the NT version is located at 57882.

9. Have fun burning labels again and be sure to thank the Lightscribe developers for making a stupid operating system check!

Hey guys.
Having trouble with my TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223F and Windows 7 Ultimate.
Windows says I have the current driver, I try to install LSS from the LS site and still a no go. When I run LSS it says no LS drives detected. The diagnostic utility says the samething. Please help.

MSI log was already set to 601 in the new download from the LS site.

A quick look at the model number of the DVD drive at Samsung's website doesn't mention Lightscribe. Are you sure it's a Lightscribe DVD burner? The Lightscribe models usually have an "L" at the end of the model number.

That'll teach me to pay attention when changing out drives. Installed incorrect drive thanks for link.
Let you know what happens when I get the "actual" LS drive in tomorrow.
