Help!!

I want to upload a shedload of pictures to SmugMug, but only have a dial-up 56k connection. I therefore burned the pix onto a CD and went to use my neighbour's PC which has a BroadBand connection. Trouble is, his PC displays a dialog box saying thet the disk may be corrupt or have been made with a program not compatable with Windows (or something like that) - effectively it can't read it.

Both computers are using XP Home Edition, they both have MS Photo Editor. I tried burning a second disk, but the results were the same.

Any ideas??

Not sure what burning prog you have got, but is there a tick box that says something like"close cd so readable on other machines" if so you need to tick this box as some burning progs leave the cd "open" as a defaualt.

Pete,

I'm using the default XP program - ie when I open 'My Pictures', it gives me the option to 'Copy to CD'. If I select this, the only option it gives me is to name the disk - no option to leave the CD open or anything else.....
