Answer» I have an HP Laptop I started writing them all to CDsWhich program did you use to burn the cds and what format are the pics on your cds? Quote Now some of the picture files will not open.Do you mean the pics on cd will not open? What format are these pics which will not open? Which programs have you used? Did you finalise the cds? All the pics are .jpg I tried windows picture and FAX viewer, ie, jasc paint shop, sony picture motion browser, adobe photo editor.... none open the pics I am in the middle of checking the cd's, and so far all open ok.Just not the pics on my pc. There are over 30 of them, what do you mean "finalise"? Quote I am in the middle of checking the cd's, and so far all open ok. Just not the pics on my pc. There are over 30 of them, what do you mean "finalise"? From that I assume the pics you 'wrote' to cd are opening ok, it's the pics on the hard drive you have a problem with. You didn't respond to my query about which burning program you used to 'write' files to the cds. Finalising means that no further data can be burned to that cd regardless of how little data has already been burned, open-session means that further data can be burned after completion of the current session. Sorry about that. I just opened My Pictures, selected all, and on the left hand side of the window, clicked Write these files to CD. A CD writing wizard comes up. And no they are not finalised, I thought the computer automatically did that to protect the data from being written over... and all files are saved and written as .jpgHave you tried a reboot ? Windows 98 often locked me out from files because they had been locked for exclusive use by something, and Windows sometimes failed to notice when that "something" had completed. The only way to get access was to restart Windows. Regards AlanYes, I have been trying to fix this for over a week...I now notice that some of the files I thought were okay, now going into them looking at the pics, some of them are the same. I can view some pics, and others say "No preview available" and they wont open in any program I try... Anyone have a clue??angelec23 I am unable to reproduce your situation. I launched My Computer to obtain what I think of as Windows Explorer. I selected a set of *.jpg files I cannot find any option to "Write these files to CD". The top left menu "File" INCLUDES many options, including programs to compress to *.zip etc. Alternatively, selecting these *.jpg files and using right-click gives a context menu with similar options. If I downloaded and installed a CD writing program I am confident that I could then have the same "Write these files to CD" option as you. I am using Windows XP Home edition with SP3. Do you have Nero, or some other extra program which gives you this option ? Or have I totally misunderstood / Regards Alan Do you have Nero, or some other extra program which gives you this option ? --Nope, jsut windows XP When I click on any picture files, in the blue collumn on the left side of the screen there is a "picture tasks" box that has several things to choose from. One of them being "Copy to CD" I also have XP With SP3.... that is so strange. Maybe you have a setting different than mine...Yes and No !!! Yes My default has a Folders Tree on the left side. NO By cancelling Folders I now get a blue column on the left. I now have not so many options If I select only 1 file I am also offered a preview of that file, but still no Write to CD nor anything like that. I still suspect you may have a CD writing program which I do not have, and that maybe that program has accidentally (or otherwise) done damage. Regards Alan Thanks Alan. I have no idea, I thought all XP came with the Cd writing wizard. I just know I did not install it myself. I am glad to have the back up CD's but they were just for backup.... I am waiting for an external hard drive to transfer everything to. I have to figure out this problem because I have alot of things that are not backed up at all...Possible reasons I have no CD writing wizard include :- Some while ago NERO was installed to take care of my CD and DVD CONTROLS, and that may have disabled any writing wizard that could have existed by default (and perhaps NERO was angry with me when I un-installed it, and it decided not to re-enable any default wizard that should be there !!! ) Most windows programs have a Help > About option that gives the program NAME and version, and often a link to the originator's website. This might answer my questions. If the writing Wizard just writes what is selected, and there is no user interaction to obtain Help > About, then by opening the disc drive it will be unable to write, and should then report an error condition and await user interaction which might then give the needed Help > About.
