Buffalo CD/DVD drive

I purchased one of these to replace a non-working internal one on my Acer Laptop.

Does anyone know where I can get a Manual.

In Particular I want to know how to play a CD which already contains normal photographs.

The Buffalo has lots of menu options connected with burning a CD/DVD but the word "Play" does not seem to be in its vocabulary!

If it's not a video CD, but a data CD then typically you just load the video file(s) in a player. Or if you have a player associated with video file types, just double click on a video file after opening the drive in Explorer.

Thank you for your suggestions "MilesAhead"

I found that my CD with photo's on it would not play on a DVD player.

I then uninstalled the software that came with the Buffalo Drive (Power2Go & instantBurn). Now I can play discs just using the Buffalo drive along with my free VLC media player for homemade or Commercial films. For viewing a disc with snaps on it I use the Buffalo in conjunction with "Windows Live Photo Gallery".
To insert new snaps onto a CD or DVD I use the Buffalo in conjunction with the W L P G to import the snaps from a camera SD card. Delete any unwanted ones, then find my new folder in "Pictures", right click it and SEND the folder to "D" drive (my Buffalo).

Glad you have it working.
