Wrong forum... try General chit chat or newbie questions next time...

Firstly have you tried a different CD? Your drive might be faulty.

Maybe its a problem with your disk drive?
Right click on "My Computer" and then "Properties"
Then go to the hardware tab
Then click on "device manager"
If theres a problem with one of your hardware devices, it *should* have a exclamation mark next to it.

OK...I'm making the assumption that you can go into windows explorer, "see" the drive and the files on the CD. Right-click the setup.exe file and then left-click "properties", click the "compatibility" tab and set it to run in windows 98 mode, click OK (or Apply if it's there) and then double-click the setup file.....the problem may be in XP and not the drive....again, I'm making the assumption that your CD drive is functioning properly here.

You may try to clean up your CD-ROM Drive.... Doesn't mean that new CD-ROM is clean......
I guess so...

Find out what your videocard is and get the latest drivers for it. I had a similar problem with XP and a videocard that was only 6 weeks old.

Because the drivers were so new it was the last thing that I checked
:(

But there were new ones! and this fixed the problem.

Good Luck
