First, typing in ALL CAPS is the Usenet equivalent of ***SHOUTING*** and is
considered very rude.

Now, on to your problem...

It seems as if your disk may not be finalized, or that you used packet
writing software (drag and drop to CD) to make the disc. You must finalize
the disk, or burn the disk as a data disc and not use the packet writing
software.

Hi,
I had the same problem with scanned slides that I had in a folder. I found
that I could use my XP computer and copy the pictures without the folder and
it worked fine.
When I then copied the pictures on to my Vista computer and then tried to
burn them to a CD, I had to copy the pictures one at a time (extremely
tedious). However, if I use the mastered format (copies all before burning to
a CD and then does the actual burning) instead of the default Live File
System for does both steps at a time, I can copy all of the pictures at once.
I can change the format process in burning but not in reading the CDs.
I wish that I could default photo gallery to only use the mastered format
(that is the one used under XP) for reading and writing. Does anyone know how
to change that default? That Live File System process seems to have problems.
