My computer will not install programs from a CD-Rom.?
I have a new computer. It will play DVDs, but when I try to install a new program from a CD-Rom, the computer doesn't do anything. It should auto install. Then when I look in MY computer, it says E:DVD. When I click it open, it doesn't show anything that is on the disk.
Thanks for your answers so far. I have tried the START>RUN>BROWSE, but no files show up when I click on the E:DVD. Also, this happens with all CD-Roms that I put in the computer. I only have one CD/DVD drive. I will try the other suggestions. Thanks. keep 'em coming.
