Put the program cd in the drive. Either hold down the shift key when you
insert the cd to prevent autorun or just cancel out of the
installation. Then go to My Computer and right-click on the cd drive's
icon. Choose Explore. Now you can see the contents of the cd. Find a
folder with the name of the photo program and look inside it for
something like "setup.exe".

So you exit the installer. Are you saying that when you double-click on
My Computer you don't see any entries for any cd drives there? Just the
hard drive?
