Make sure you burn just the contents of the folder, not the folder itself.

It sounds as if you're packaging directly to CD and not getting a clean
"burn." I'd use Geetesh's suggestion and use the copy to folder option in
the package for CD wizard. Then use your CD burning software or Windows
XP's CD burning capability to move the folder contents to CD.

Lori,

There could be a bucket full of reasons why. I guess the first
question is
what operating systems was on the target machines. From memory, the
viewer
will only run on Windows 98 Second Edition.

I have used the Package for CD option on my office 2003 program,
but have
not had the best success with it. I have the options checked to
include the
viewer and to play automatically every time. I've tried to play the
CD's on
two different computers and they seem to hang up. The viewer box
comes up,
but the CD doesn't start. It sounds like it tries to, but it can't
quite
get going. Finally, it will stall to the point that nothing
responds. If I
go to my computer and click on the CD drive and then try to open the
file
from the CD drive, I will get the message that trying to open it has
caused
a serious error and do I want to continue, or do I want Power Point
to start
in safe mode. I have done a few CD's that have worked, but most of
the time
it has been unsuccessful. Any suggestions as to what I might be
doing
wrong?

Generally, you just select all the files inside the folder, but not the
folder itself, and tell your CD burning program to burn those.

That is your problem, I'm pretty sure. You need to have all those files
"loose" on the CD, not inside a folder on the CD.

You should NOT copy the folder to the CD only the files in the folder to the
CD
