I am trying to install games onto my PC which I have had for about 3 months. I never had this problem before hand so not sure what it could be. I place the disc into the DVD drive (in this case, Warcraft 3) and I get the usual popup but looking different than normal, which looks like this:  Since it doesn't tell me to install, I enter the CD to have a look and find the files like this:  the installer files don't seem to be working and when I double click, I get this message:  Now I am an admin on the computer so I don't know how I can't get permission. Also I don't know whether this is correct but I get a different icon when the CD is loaded in on the MyComputer page:  I have checked other accounts and they have the same problem, can anyone help me with this matter please?! Thank you Edit: Moved topic from XP to the more appropriate forum. ~ Animal |

Have you tried using the G drive? If it asks what action to take, select no action then go to My Computer and select Play from there

 why won't my laptop work? Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around |

I have tried on the G drive and its excatly the same. As for choosing no action, it only has open and explore, just like a data CD.

Just to make you aware, it doesn't install any software, not just games so not sure why this moved in here.
