Need Help Installing Game...

I am trying to install a game on my laptop, but it will not auto run and i cannot locate the file to search through the disc. Also music CDs arent working, how do i make sure that the disc drive was installed properly?

Re: Need Help Installing Game...

HI Omak2008 and welcome to Vista Forums,
Try this right click on my computer and select Manage then click on device manager, have a look if you can find DVD/CD-ROM drives in the list and check that it is working and that the drivers are installed correctly. If they are try right click on it and then uninstall, reboot the computer and let windows reinstall the hardware and see if that works. If you cant see a DVD/CD-ROM in device manager you may have a faulty drive or maybe a loose connection.

Hope this helps!

You can tip the scales if you found this to be helpful.

Insure you have the autorun funtion turned on in your setting before you check the drivers.
AutoPlay Settings

The above link shows you how to do it.

If the AutoPlay settings don't work, maybe check out the game's site and troubleshoot.
