    Default Please help me open my photos!

    I had a great session with a photographer here in Tucson. He gave my all the images on a cd, but I am unable to open it. I have tryed on my ibook g4 and my bf's ibm laptop. On the ibook the cd shows up on the desk top as UDFREADER.

    When I click on it it has tree sub files that will not open. They are called
    Autorun.inf
    UdfrChk.exe
    udfrinst.zl

    I think I need to install something maybe? But it is not telling me what I need to install.

    He said they were jpg images. If anyone knows what to do I would really apprieciate it. Thanks

    These are not jpgs and will DEF not open on a Mac. An .exe program can only be opened on a PC. If there was a lot of pics, he may haven saved in some kind of zip drive...best to call him and ask how he saved them.

    Thanks Cameron. My bf has an ibm laptop that I am trying to open the photos on. It is not working. It is only showing one photo; I know there are at least 25. I did call the photographer and left a message. I love the images and I want to show my boyfriend! I will post a couple here if you ladies want to see...

    Roxio easy CD creater was probably used.

    Thanks wiseguy. He did use Roxio but when I downloaded from the link for windows on my bf's computer it still didn't work. I am going to meet the photog in an hour. I was hoping your trick would work b/c have a lot of things to do. Thanks anyway.

    On the pc, the .exe file is what's called an "executable" file. You double click on it, and it is supposed to open and install whatever program or other files it was created to install. Some people are afraid of them because they can install viruses, but since this one came from someone you know and trust, it should be safe. When you double click on it, it will likely open a folder filled with those .jpg images.

    However, why he would do it this way is beyond me. There are much simpler ways of saving 25 images.
