Hi Pablo,

To correct an Error 1311 when trying to install from a CD, try this:

1. Try copying the entire CD to your hard drive and then run the
setup / installation program from there. To copy the CD click:
My Computer, Right-Click the CD, Choose "Copy",
then Right-Click on your Hard Drive, Choose "Paste".

2. Change the Local CD Rom Access Security Policy:

To change the policy with the policy editor, using an Administrators account,
Click Start / Control Panel and Click Administrative Tools
Click on "Local Security Policy" to start that Application

Click the + to expand Local Policies / Click on Security Options
In the list on the Left right look for the following entry:
"Devices: Restrict CD-ROM access to locally logged-on user only"
If it says Enabled, right click on it / Properties / select Disabled.
If it was already Disabled leave it alone. Close the Application.

Hope that helps you install those 3 games before the holidays Pablo! :)

If you had installed Acrobe Reader, uninstall it first. Then, try to install your software.
