Don't know if KernalEx can be made to address LightScribe incompatibility with Win98, but that would be cool. The required "Lightscribe System Software" (http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadsection/Windows/index.aspx?id=810) will not install with KernalEx 4.0 RC2. I will note that there are several CD label making programs that run on 98 and support LightScribe (Acoustica is one), but don't support it for 98. From what I have been reading on the web, LightScribe simply cannot be made to run on 98.
