Picture dvd will not play in my computer..what can I do?

Asked Jul 31, 2010, 08:00 PM — 11 Answers
Bought a picture disk from telescopes while at the beach. It will not play in any of my computers, but I know that the pictures are on it because I printed some at the store.

Does your PC see the disc in windows explorer?

What file types are on the disk that you have?

This may be something like a Kodak Picture CD. Look at Kodak Easyshare or Coral Photo Album

It is a picture Cd...Not sure what kind it has the name of the company who made it on it. The computer reads it, the name of the cd shows up and when I hit properties it will tell me how much free space and how much used space is on it. But it will not open a file at all.

It seems that whoever made the DVD did not finalize it. Ask the DVD creator to finalize the project THEN burn you the DVD.

Thanks, that sounds like it could very well be the reason NeedKarma. But they are 400 miles away had it done while I was on vacation. I am going to call them now and see what they can do.
