I have a disc of family pictures which was created three years ago and worked fine. I am now finding that it will not open and the message states: This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating system that supports the ISO-13346 "UDF" file system specification. The only difference I can see is that the disc was created on Win98 and I am now using XP Home. Any ideas on how to open this CD would be greatly appreciated. Heather

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with how the CD disk was written. I have 3 different computers using different software to burn CDs. The one that uses Roxio has an option to leave the disk open for further writes but it cautions you, it might not be readable all CD readers. I believe the one that uses Nero has the same option and caution. The one that comes with Windows XP is powered by Roxio so... Anyhow, I wrote a CD on my XP machine with Roxio. I could not read it on my plain XP machine nor on the Nero machine. I wrote a new one and closed the CD ... It was readable on all 3 machines. Heather -- if this is the case, you may have to find a machine with the same software you used to write the CD.

Heather, If you open my computer, go to cd, you should be able to click on each picture individually open it, if nothing else. Sue C.
