The event viewer shows that there is a faulty autorun.exe error for the time that it begun not to work. Help. I miss my games already. Thanks. -------------------- "The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from the one who does."

To explore the cd and look for the files manually simply right click the drive the cd is in and then click explore. Usually there will be a setup.exe file you can run. -------------------- =()()=Home Of The TEB=()()=

But nothing happens and when I right click it on My Computer, it shows the drive menu and when I click on eject cd: it ejects. Thanks for your assistance. -------------------- "The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from the one who does."
