This is EXACTLY what I needed! However, not sure if I'm doing something wrong -- the 'program' seems to read the CD contents, but when pressing the 'Copy Selected Files' button, nothing seems to be happening. . . help? :-(I've tried several other software out there and this one's the 1st that actually read the contents of the CD I'm trying to salvage files from. (It was created on an OLD machine back in 2006 & for some reason, none of my current computers will 'read' the CD although it's confirmed (now) that there are files on it!) If anyone knows of any other software like this one that actually works for recovering files from a CD-ROM, let me know, please.
