I have the Navman code on CD for my sat nav but when I put the CD in either drive it whizzes around for a min, looks busy then just stops. No error, nothing. Navman sent me replacements and exact same thing. If I navigate to the CD I see all files and can click on install.exe and same thing - disc spins then after 30 secs or so just stops.
TRying it on a laptop I have (but don't want to us), it installs.
Any clues why my desktop won't run the app? Is there a way I can tell?
Thanks for any help

One of these may help :
1. Download this little program http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;DisplayLang=en
2. Go to Start, Run, type regedit and navigate to registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services and click on the folder called Cdrom. In the right pane there will be a value called Autorun, right-click it and choose Modify then change the value to 1.
3. Go to Start, Run, type "gpedit.msc" without the quotes, in the left pane click on User Configuration, in the right pane double-click Administrative Templates, System. You will see a value near the bottom called "Turn off Autoplay", right click and choose properties then hit the radio button called "Disabled" and then apply.

Thanks for the help.
- The MS fix utility claims it "cannot find the error"
- Autorun is set to "1" in the registry (it seems to try and work)
- gpedit.msc is not found
I got new discs from the vendor
Recently my disk copy SW seemed to stop Working so I wonder now if it's related and this is some kind of HW error. However I can read data from DVD/CDs no problem at all.
I think autorun believes it's running - it just fails with no error message.
I'm stumped.

Oops, gpedit.msc is not available in XP Home only XP Pro.
You say the software has been 'playing up', so try this little program CD-DVD-FIX from here http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts_desc/xp_cd_dvd_fix.htm
Create a system restore point before running it.
