I wanted to select pictures for an album and tried to look at the pictures on a CD-ROM on my PC. The selection of the pictures started to go very slowly and after some minutes the CD-station did not seem to work. I am SORRY, but I cannot describe it better.
I decided it was something wrong with the CD-station, a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive marked Model LTC-48161H. I replaced this CD-station with an old Plextor CD-R PX-W1610A and this CD-station seemed to work ok for a while. HOWEVER, when I tried to look at the pictures the same problem started again.
I have a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo L computer a little less than 3 years old. OPERATING system XP Home and I am not on a network.

Is it possible that some error on the CD can modify or corrupt the software in the CD-station(if it has software)? If that is so, is it possible to correct the software of the station?

I have already ordered a new CD-station, but don't like to throw the old one away if it can be repaired.

What should I do with the picture CD-ROM? It looks dangerous to me but is FILLED with pictures for a holiday.

I do not understand your YaBBC tags and neither the Smilies. Should I use them?

Thank you
Knut
