Trouble Installing Programs

Hello to everyone since I'm new to this forum and every comment is strongly appreciated.

Recently I've been having problems installing certain programs, games, etc. Here is what is happening. When I put a CD-ROM into the drive for a game installation, nothing pops up. No automatic installation launcher or the manual installation in My computer. Nothing pops up and the logo in my computer doesn't show the game. It's as if the the cd-rom doesn't load or it stops somewhere. I don't know what is causing it. When I dl programs from the internet and install it, it works just fine. The only problem is that I cannot install anything from a cd-rom installation cd.

Please help...

-Thank you.

Most likely your CD drive has given up the fight. Buy a new one (last one I bought lasted only 4 months )
