If the photos can be seen on the CD through Konqueror and you click on them and they don't open, what are the error messages if any? If you burned the CD too fast, that might have created files that are recognisable, but unreadable. Right click on one of the photo files, are they saved as .jpg or another format? The dialogue box that opens up should offer you an option to <Open with......> Select a viewer and then see if they open. My preference would be Kuickshow and see if the file opens, or record the error message that comes up. So try the following:- in the panel the little house which is home/mnt/cdrom, right click on the file, choose Kuickshow and either view the photo or record the error message. While you are there looking at the photos, click on the detailed list in the menu bar, and see what size the photo is, because if it is very large, it may take your system, depending on memory a while to render it for viewing. Making you think that it is not being loaded. Charlie. -- A steady wind scours the autumn moon From a stagnant pool, From the crystal spring every place pure now Just as it is.
