Have these games always done this? Have you made any changes to your system recently? Have you scanned for viruses and Spyware? Are the game compatible with your system?

The games have always done this, ever since the day I bought them,I've made no changes to my computer,I have no viruses,and my computer meets all the requirements.What i'll do is start the game,the autorun screen thing will appear,then it'll do nothing,just sit there with the screen on.

Have you done any research on this at all?  ???

Go to www.google.com type in "windows 98 autorun" and see what you get. Lots of information from Microsoft and others. Takes about 2 seconds, as I just did it!  :o :o :o :o :o

Google is your friend and you can do it to. Sometimes getting information is good but knowing how to get it is better!

Highly unlikely, though a dramatic statement. Are you a thespian perhaps?

I saw lots of links there. Have you considered this?

Have you tried commanding the computer to autorun manually? (the run box)
