Normally when I put in a picture cd a pop up shows up asking me what I
would like to do. I get to pick and then all is well. Now my parents
made a picture CD w/xp and when I load it in combo drive nothing
happens. I have to go to my computer, find combo drive, right click it,
pick open-explore, then it acts like it wants to open but nothing. There
are pictures on the cd because it says there is 404mb of space taken up.
I put it in my xp machine and loads right up with choices and I am able
to look at pics, but not on my vista machine. Need help.

Was this CD made with a special "picture slide" software?
Or is this a cd where the media images were transfered from computer to the
CD using basic burn software such as Roxio?
You can try migrating the pics from your parents XP to your Vista using an
external USB flash stick or USB hard drive. Vista has no problem reading data
cd's even if the data is media images as long as the cd was burned
(initialized and finalized) properly.
