    Installing new Programs

    Hi I am trying to install software for a webcam and I put the cd-rom into the
    drive and nothing popped up. A "language selection" screen is supposed to
    appear and it isn't. This isn't the first time this has happened. I know that
    I am supposed to open Windows Explorer and double click the "Set-Up.exe" icon
    under the CD-ROM directory but I can't seem to find any of this. Please
    help!! Thank you so much.

    Vista pops up a dialogue whenever you insert a CD or DVD. In this box you
    will find various options for what to do with the disk's files and folders.
    Choose the installation program displayed there. If you can't see one,
    choose 'open folders' and browse for it yourself.

    Installation programs may have different names. Look for .exe files with
    names like setup, install, autorun, run, or the same name as the software
    itself. It could also be that you have to open a Windows Installer file
    (.msi extension).

    Hi Victoria,

    Double check your AutoPlay settings under the "Software and games" listing. This tutorial will show you how to do it.
