Games wont Install

Posted: 10-28-2005, 07:45 PM
I have just recently installed XP Pro after a hard disk crash. I have also
put SP2 and other windows updates on.

When ever i stick a CD in the Drive to install a programe I get the
following XP Error message and cannout get any further...

"Microsoft Games AutoRun/Setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience."

[This message is displayed in the common xp 'send' 'dont send' etc error box]

Can anyone please help with this problem?

To narrow down the cause of the problem, I wonder if you are having
this problem with only one CD or with all CD's you try to install from?

Hi cwylab,

Which game are you trying to install please?
I'm thinking you might be trying to install an old game..
