Go to My Computer, right-click on the icon that represents the drive with the CD in it,
select Explore from the context menu. Most data CDs have a file named AUTORUN.INI
that Windows looks for when the CD is inserted. It contains info about what file to execute.
Seems your CD doesn't have one. Is there a file with the name "Setup.exe" (or something
similar) you can double-click on?
