I have at least one machine where the Microsoft Photo Editor comes up on
the task bar, but never appears on the screen itself. On that machine, I
routinely use IE to open .jpg and .gif files, especially if I want to make
one of them the desktop background. One *can* use a web browser to open
local content of these types....
It seems to me that in her initial message, Marilyn said that her "D:" and
"E:" drives were not visible. Marilyn, I think we need to understand
whether this is a problem with your system recognizing that the CD is
present, or whether you need help understnading how to navigate to that
drive to find the files. Can you describe in more detail what you are doing
when these drives fail to appear?

Marilyn tellez,
I AM ASSUMING THAT YOUR CD ROM DRIVE IS IN WORKING ORDER (you are able to use
it for cds other than the one with which you are having trouble) and you have win xp...
(1) there are two types of cds. (a) auto run... which means a code is written in the cd which makes it open itself when you insert in the drive (just after a few seconds) AND (b) cds created by people like us (hereagain it is possible to include the AUTO RUN CODE ourselves) which have to be opened by double click on the icon.
(2) win xp (at least the PRO version) has a feature by which.. the moment you insert you will find a "cd icon " attached to your mouse pointer.. and then a window "AUTO PLAY " reading the contents rapidly.... and then another window...
asking you... what do you want to do...
play with med.player,, print,, view slide show,, copy pictures, open in windows explorer,, take no action.
in addition to all this there must be a LED light on your cdrom drive.
so just tell us what happens when you insert the troublesome cd. and surely the problem can be easily solved.
<<<< I went to my computer & tried to install it, but neither d or e drives responds.>>>
sorry not clear on this. which is your cdrom drive d or e. when you say nothing responds does it mean that neither drive shows up when you double click " my computer icon" on the desk top???
let us know and good luck----Venkat
