Converting short file names to long file names

We have laptop computers with win98 onboard. A folders and files appear in the long filename format. However, when we load a CD containing a folder with file onto the laptop, only that folder with its files show up with short file names. This corrupts the files when used. I check the cd on another computer, and the names are in long file names. Somehow, they are converted in the transferr to the laptops.

Is there a fix for this. I have never seen this occur before.
