    CD not recognized by Vista!

    Hi There,

    I recently backed up all my pictures from an old computer running ME ( yeah I know..it was an old computer, but worked great) onto a CD and I when I load the CD onto my laptop with XP OS, pictures pull up just fine. I take the same CD and pop it into my new computer with Vista and it doesnt recognize I even have the CD in? Does anyone know why I can view the CD with XP, but not Vista? I am so frustrated with Vista in so many ways I can't even explain! Thanks in advance.

    Maybe you need a UDF reader:

    Free...Adaptec UDF Reader Driver 5.1.1.213
    http://download.cnet.com/Adaptec-UDF...4-9497911.html
    ( I know it doesn't say it's for Vista but I've
    seen reports that it works...Good Luck and
    let us know how it goes)
