Sounds like your cover (dvd jewel case insert?) or lightscribe designer software is crashing or buggy/corrupt, reinstall?
Would definitely get more ram, 512mb is just enough for XP, 1gb is much better.
Going by ram you've got, sounds like you've got an early Pentium 4, 2GHz ish (2004?) mobo/cpu, probably working hard to burn effectively at high burn speeds, would slow burn speed down, some. :2cents:
Update burner firmware?

627469 2008-01-06 18:55:00 Could you explain your saying "the PC has 512Mb RAM. XP"? please
Originally this com shipped with only the 128Mb PC2100 DDR installed to run the pre-installed Win XP Home & the HP progs. Fine till I added SP2+
As it stands now with the 384Mb RAM

The system I was referring to has 1 512 Mb of RAM running XP home- looking at the Spec's provided you system could do with some more RAM, If a PC runs of of memory, you usually start getting error messages, and failure of what ever you are doing Eg: writing the light scribe.
If you can afford it and the PC can take it I'd suggest at least adding in another 512Mb RAM you should notice a vast improvement.

I reinstalled LS Software 2-3 day back, made no improvement

I tried shutting down all Apps.-bar LS & Nero Cover Designer-& as much as i could using System Configuration Utility,didn't improve the result either.
AM going to replace existing RAM with 1GB DDR400 this week.That'll improve something!
Thank you all.
