Help! Roxio cannot detect my LightScribe DVD/CD-RW drive. I have uninstalled both the drive hardware and the Roxio software program and reinstalled both, with no change. The DVD/CD RW drive does work - I can play and burn audio, data and media cd/dvds with other programs....Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Recently I had the same problem. At the end this was the solution, everything works fine now!!!
There is a chance a registry setting is not correct. You can correct this by following these steps (only for experienced users only as the registry is one of the most important files of your computer. A mistake in the registry can prevent your PC for working normally again.!!):
1. Backup valuable data on eg. CD or DVD.
2. Click 'Start' and choose 'run'.
3. Type 'regedit' and choose 'OK'.
"4. Make a safety backup of your registry by choosing 'File', 'Export' and give the file a well-chosen name. Remember the location of this file. In case a mistake happens, you can use this file to restore the registry."
5. Double click on 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'.
6. Double click on 'SOFTWARE'.
7. Double click on 'Microsoft'.
8. Double click on 'Windows NT'.
9. Double click on 'CurrentVersion'.
10. Click on 'Winlogon'.
"11. Check the value 'allocatecdroms' (in the right column). If this is '0', it’s OK (leave the registry editor without changing anything)."
"12. If it is '1', double click on 'allocatecdroms', and enter '0' like in the screenshot below:"
13. Click 'OK'.
14. Leave the registry editor.
15. Restart your computer.
