I have a couple of CDs that have a label that says they are enhanced CDs. One of them says "powered by Macromedia". Also on the case, it has some PC requirements.

From looking at it, I'm assuming that it's supposed to have some sort of video on it that can viewed when played on a PC.

However, when I stick the CD into my PC, it plays like any other music CD and I don't see anything that allows me to activate anything different.

Does anybody know what's supposed to happen or what I'm supposed to do?

Iâ€™m not sure of your setup (windows, Mac, Linux) assuming windows. When you place the cd in and it starts to play â€“ end the player by clicking â€˜Xâ€™ in the upper right corner. Then go to the â€˜My Computerâ€™ icon on your desktop or the â€˜Windows Explorerâ€™ application from the START\PROGRAMS button and go to the drive identified as your cd player. Single right click on the icon, you should then get a drop down menu with â€˜OPENâ€™ as a selection, click (left mouse button) on â€˜OPENâ€™ and it should open like a data cd for you to explore. Good luck.
