Windows shows files as CDA's, not CDG's

If you laptop will play them with the grafics then the CD disc is fine. Since you desktop won't read/play them then I would suspect that the drive you are using is not compatible with CDG format.

Actually I'm using the same external drive with both (shuttling it between machines for testing).
