shahin, hi, OK, the good part is you backed up your photos in your CD-RW disks. Now, you may need to re-install the software that came with your digital camera.

What may have happened is your computer is not reconizing the format of thephotos you saved them in.
If your photos have the extension jpg or gif after the after the name of each of your photo, such as NAME.jpg, you should not have trouble seeing your photos from your CD-RW disk.

If you don't see any photos from your CD-RW disks, then you need to re-install the software that came with your camera. The reason I emphasized this is I have no problem seeing or loading the digital pictures that I copy to my CD-RW disks, too, which, from taking them using a digital camera like you.

Otherwise, if your pictures do end in .jpg or .gif. then the CD-RW disk may be corrupted. But 1st, make sure your computer,WIN XP, or WIN 98 does physically recognize your CD-RW burner drive before pinponting the problem to your software or your CD-RW disk.
