Windows Forum / Windows XP / Hardware / February 2004HighMat-Compatible CDs
When I use Windows XP to create a CD it is now asking me if I want to make a HighMat-compatible CD. The default is not to. I was copying a photo directory to take to my Mom's so that her screen saver picks them up. (Lots of new pictures of my grandkids). Any reason to not check this? Your Mom's PC will only be able to read the CD you create if her PC also has the HighMat update installed and it's compatible with her hardware.

I should hve waited for all the DVD format wars to settle down before investing inna DVD player and nero6 for $100.00, unless i wanted to wait for the next generation of WIndows which finally, will have some sort of DVD writing software. Reminds me of the Betamax/VCR hassles.. > Your Mom's PC will only be able to read the CD you create if her PC also has > the HighMat update installed and it's compatible with her hardware.

Now it appears there is yet another DVD format on the horizon... blue laser .... ho hum. Just when you thought it was coming to an end! However I guess there is a time when you have to purchase.... but it's probably a guess as to exactly when that time might be!
