In Windows Explorer, navigate to to your CD drive, and find a file called "setup.exe". Double click on it to start installation.

okay well i typed that into search and found a bunch of setups is it supposed to be called setup.exe exactly?

thanx!!:)

i typed that into search

Make sure, you are searching CD only, NOT your hard drive.

i looked for it in removable disk C: ?? i think thats where it should be but i did not find it.i opened my computer but it only has floppy disk A and removable disk C

thanx

in removable disk C

What would be your hard drive's letter? It must be C. It looks like your CD drive is not listed in "My Computer".
Have it ever worked?

[nefarius]

yes i think so. but i havent actually loaded a software for months so i dont kno. i dont have any thing else listed in my computer except the removable disk drive C which i thought was the drive! but i guess not if i dont have a drive do you know how i am supposed to install one???

thanx so much for helping me!!

Do you have any music CD, you can try to play in your CD drive? Will it play?

[nefarius]

no it doesnt play! havent got a clue why it isnt working :/

[Broni]

Go Start, Settings, Control Panel, System, click on Device Manager tab
What do you have listed under CD-ROM drives (if any)?

i dont have any thing else listed in my computer except the removable disk drive C which i thought was the drive!

Do I feel the gentle tug of chains being pulled?

If the CD-ROM drive is listed as "drive C", then something very strange has happened, so I wonder, what letter is the Windows system drive, and how come it isn't C?
