When I put the disc in, nothing autoruns and I have to open it through my computer. From there, I've tried running several of the install/run files. Each of them opens the isntall/readme/exit screen, and I click install. Then, the cursor goes to an hourglass briefly and then back to normal, and nothing happens or launches. ANy idea what my problem is?

More information is needed. Type of system, memory, drives (CD or DVD) disks (CD or DVD), tell more and it would help with answers.
