Jim,
What software and mode are you using to create the CDs?
In order to insure compatibility with all CD-ROM drives, you have to burn
the CDs using the "Disc at Once" setting. You _can't_ use multi-session
modes or leave the disc open for future additions (a very common mistake),
this will allow you to read it on a CD-R but _not_ a CD-ROM.
In addition, if your Memorex drive is a CD-RW, be sure you are _not_
using CD-RW media for the copies--standard drives won't read a CD-RW.
If this don't help, contact me via email and I'll try to step you through
the problem. If nothing else, I'd be glad to burn the discs for you on my
system (which _is_ compatible with all other systems that I've ever tried
a disc on) if you can send the original discs you burned (or make the
material available via high-speed ftp) and standard blank CD-Rs (I
_strongly_ recommend Verbatium CDs, they're both inexpensive and
dependable).
Hope it helps,
Rick
