CD-ROM drive trouble...

[Guest]

I am trying to install game (made in 2001) that I installed earlier, but I
can no longer install it. When I double type the setup icon or type
D:\setup.exe into "run", it just puts up the hourglass, but then stops and
doesn't do anything else...Ive already tryed canceling programs that might
block it...Some one please help!

Hi Brad,

Let's try a couple of things to get that working for you again:

1. Startup your system in SAFE MODE by pressing F8 repeatedly
while your system is booting up after you've shut down your system

2. Make sure you're using one of your Administrator's accounts.

Jimmy--That doesn't seem to help. It did the same thing as before.

Hi Brad,

Sorry to hear you're still having problems.. which game is it?
Is it a DOS or Windows based game?
