Burnt DVD - Self Extracting .EXE's Appear as Dos Files

[tonemgub]

HI,
I have just burnt some files off my computer to try and save on space. When I go to access the DVD all the files are there but the .EXE executable files are all showing the White background and Blue border Icons and when I double click them I get a quick DOS prompt and nothing happens. Have I burnt the DVD wrong? Can I some how salvage the data in the files as they all show the correct size for the file.

Many thanks for any help.

Chris

they are corrupt it sounds like ...you will have to re-do it

or


they are trying to to extract themselves on the dvd, extract to your hard drive instead
