can't read directory of CD

Software is WinXP-pro w/SR-2
Hardware DELL Dimension E510, 3.0 GHZ & 1 GByte RAM

My wife copied numerous mp3 music files to an "80 min 700 Mbyte" CD.
some of the music files are in the route directory, while others are in
subdirectories. The mp3 files are a mixture of music ripped from CD's
and digitized vinyl records.

When the CD is placed into the CD drive, one can play the music using
windows media player or real player and possibly others. When using
either of those two, the contents of the CD is displayed.

My wife wants to print out a list of what is on CD. Our normal
procedure is to use Windows Explorer to view the contents and then
capture and print and image of what is on the screen. When one left
clicks on the CD icon, Windows Explorer opens the directory that had
been opened just prior to moving the cursor.

Obviously, the files are on the CD. What might be preventing me from
using Windows Explorer to look at the content of the CD? Is there a
program that will read the directory of the CD?

problem fixed itself after I turned off computer and restarted with cold
boot. Just "restarting" was not enough to fix problem.
