Problem with Direct CD
I have a whole bunch of motorcycle pictures I burned onto disc. I just used direct CD using windows explorer. I just cut and pasted from my computer directory to the disc. Now I have upgraded my computer and it runs Windows XP. I can't view the pictures on the disc with Vueprint or even get into the directory on the disc with explorer. Any ideas. I am not sure if my software with my other CD-RW would work on this computer or not. I guess I could install my other CD-RW drive in this computer if the software would load. Anyone have any bright ideas on how to get this to work.

cdrw trouble
i think you didnt close the cd after you burned it, you left it open so you could burn more pictures and a normal cd drive cant read the files.
you need to install your old cdrw in your new system and install direct cd, then you can read the cd and close it for viewing in all cd drives.

Your right on part of that. I did not close out the CD. Also my version of Easy CD creator will not work on XP machine. I'll just buy Easy CD Creator 5 and go from there. Thanks.. Too big of pain in the ass to hook up old machine again.

Also.. some version of direct Cd are not backward compatible with disks you made using previous versions.
