    video game won't begin installation on new HP with vista

    brand new laptop, HP Pavilion, purchased yesterday
    when i put the game in, the compter doesnt read it and nothing happens
    thought maybe the game was too old and not compatible with vista, tried to
    install it using windows xp, but no luck
