Hey everyone! I've been on the hunt for a way to run an Enhanced CD I have, but I'm hitting a wall. This CD has a Start.exe that works fine by itself, but I can't access the extra content. When I click the available clickable area, it just takes me to the Edge homepage, which isn't helpful. I can see there are multiple folders with additional content when I check the CD in File Explorer, but there doesn't seem to be any software that will let me access or run them properly. I've tried Macromedia Director, but it's not compatible with my x64 Windows 11 setup, and Windows Media Player and VLC haven't worked either – they only recognize the Start.exe file. Here's a breakdown of the files I can access: [CD files](https://imgur.com/a/UUlH5t3), [CDPLUS](https://imgur.com/a/rQjxreg), [PICTURES](https://imgur.com/a/mTxc5na), and [Xtras](https://imgur.com/a/bvApDs8). Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

So, what's the deal with Enhanced CDs? They were pretty cool back in the day, but compatibility issues are common now since they haven't seen much use post-2001. It's possible that the software for your CD is just too old to run on Windows 11. Have you checked the file sizes of the files? Sometimes that can give us clues about what’s in there and how to run it.
I honestly don't fully understand what an Enhanced CD is either! I know it runs a program alongside the audio tracks, kind of like those DVD menus. I’m just hoping there’s a solution. I uploaded the file sizes here: [sizes](https://imgur.com/a/ON6tOgM). Let me know if this helps!
