Trying to run a cd in my computer?

Question

When I enter the cd I get the hour glass icon on my mouse but then that's it; nothing happens. How can I get the cd going when it won't on its own?

it's a school program not windows software.

Answer 1

well, it can be anything...

The data on the cd maybe corrupted but if it works on any other pc then it's okay.

try cleaning the cd rom lens....use a lens cleaner cd then try.

check if the cd has been "picked" up by the PC. Go to my computer and check cdrom. if yes, try to run it from there.

check the data format on the CD, maybe your PC does not support it. But this is rare case.

also check the proerties of the cd drive. go to my comuter> right click on CDROM> properties> restore to default and see if that works.

cheers

hope this helps

Answer 2

If it doesn't show up by itself you can go to My Computer and then double-click on the CD. It should run there.
