XP-made CD won't open in Vista

My work computer will open a CD that I received today, but my Home computer won't. My work computer is running XP and I am running Vista Home Edition.

The CD is simply some images of X-Rays that I had done. I called the Imaging Library and they said it was because they use XP and I have Vista.

When I go to "Computer" and "External Devices", then right click and choose "open", I get a whole list of files that look like proprietary parts of their software, and some other pages that I can't actually click on or activate. My actual X-Rays don't show up as one of the files.

Can anyone suggest how I can view these X-Rays from XP-created CD from my Vista Home version computer?

Are they straight pictures or are they in a viewer type setup?

Possible you need a special viewer to see them thats only XP compatible.
