I burned a DVD-R (photos) on my XP Desktop (XPS 400) and tried to open it in Vista on my E6500 laptop. No dice. In "My Computer" it showed a folder with nothing in it! When I burned it on my desktop I did the quick format (sonic DLA asked to format), added the files and then Finalized the disk. I tried it on a another laptop (Dell) which is running XP and it had the photos.
