Software Install from CD/DVD drive

I tried to downoad a new program from the CD drive. In every other computer I've used, you insert the CD and the installation begins from there. Nothing comes up when I insert a software CD even though I clicked that as a default.

I tried to download a Mahjong game but right-clicking the drive with the CD in it. It downloaded, took a very long time, and did not download correctly.

What am I missing?

Welcome to the Vista Forums :party:

I'd suggest opening the drive in windows explorer and look for a setup.exe or install.exe files. Once found, double click it to start the install.

Let us know if that worked for you.
