can't open cd's with pictures

[Sammy Castagna]

I have four cd's I can not open. They are all the same kind RW 16x~24x. The
photos were taken with a Nikon 8800. I have accessed the picks many times
but now when I put them in the cd it just acts like it starts reading and
never stops. Any program I use to try and open them becomes unresponsive
while trying to open them. I have tried opening them on a Win XP Pro B's
Clip on a Win XP B's Clip and a Win 98 machine with InCD they all lock up
and become unresponsive. Last night I updated the firmware on the XP Pro
machine uninstalled reinstalled including all the updates. Does anyone have
an idea? Thanks.

What file format are the pictures in? You mention InCD. This implies that
you used InCD (and Nero Burning Rom) to format the disks and burn the photos
to them. You will need to use InCD to read them until they are finalized.
What is "Win XP Pro B's Clip"? I've never heard of such a thing.

Kevin,
The machine that the pictures were made is a Win XP Pro using B's Clip
packet writing software. After I found that I had four cd's that I could not
open I tried them on four more different computers and could not open them.
The files were jpg. I had them on Memorex CD-RW 16x~24x cd's. Out of about
20 cd's there are four that are messed up. The cd players writers all do the
same thing when these disk are inserted. The light comes on and stays for
the most part and you can here the cd spinning fast but you can not access
the disk. The programs you use to try and open them become unresponsive. One
of the machines I used to try and open the cd's was a Win 98 machine with
InCD packet writing software.

You need to give Ahead Software a call and have them help you with the
problem. There is obviously some kind of software issue here. Again, I
have never heard of "B's Clip Packet Writing Software". I have no idea what
it is. If this is some kind of proprietary packet writing software like
InCD, you will have to use it to read the disks until they are finalized.

Kevin.
Thank you for your help. I am going to be going to be away for a couple
months I will see if there is something I can do when I return.

I for got to say the B's Clip packet writing software came with the Sony cd
writer.
