The extension of file with cr2 is a cannon's Raw Format file. Hence you have to use the Cannon's software Zoom Browser Ex and Digital Professional they both will solve your problem. Since the CD was created by a Photographer he might have used a Cannon Camera and had downloaded the pics without converting them to JPEG or into any other format before handing them over to you. So try the Cannon's proprietary software and convert them to TIFF or JPEG, better for you will be in JPEG. All the best have a happy conversion.
