This is not a Vista vs XP issue.
If you cannot read anything off these CD then it is either;
1: Your CD drive is defective. Can you read any other CD's in your drive? If not have the drive replaced. If so, the
2: The originator of the CD's may not have closed the CD so that they can be read on "any other computer" if which case you have to go back to the computer they were burned on and set them up to be "closed". Nero InCD and Roxio software could be set to leave the disk open.

They are all laughing at you. This is Comedy Central. You are a joke.

Carole, I sure wish someone had posted a fix for the problem. I, also,
have a Gateway which will read some CDs and not others. All of the CDs
made by me.. and some, are original software CDs .. very old... CD
format. THEY will read on the Dell XP laptops and my old, old, Compaq
laptop.

I do not know what software driver is MISSING from Vista that will
acknowledge the CD is even in the drive. It is not the CD, it is Vista
and Gateway.

We are picking up a new Acer laptop with Vista on it this afternoon,
will be interesting to see if it is Vista or not. We will install
Windows 7 later.

Now, I am thinking, I should just copy these old CDs to Iomega external
drive and be done with it.

Has ANYONE found the fix?
