I have come acroiss an older CD with files having the "pvm" extension. I beleive these to be jpg files as they are in a folder marked MyAlbums. I do not recall the program used to make these files. Any help recovering these files would be appreciated.

I found what probably made the CD in question. See here

The other possibility is that a Mac running Parallels virtual machine made the files. From your description of the CD, the first seems most probable.
I'm not an HP employee.
