I saved some photos as jpegs. My friend wanted some copies. I have windows xp on my computer, she has windows vista. I put the photos on a disk, when she tried to open them nothing happens. Can anyone help me?

That's odd. It's hard to imagine that the different OS's would be the problem. Perhaps the files were somehow corrupted in the burning process. Try e-mailing one of the photos as a test. Cheers.

George,

We need some more info...

What program is she using in her attempt to view the images?
Is she having trouble viewing any jpegs, or just yours?
If there are error messages, what do they say?
Did you try to open the images on your computer using the same program she is using? Did it work?
