I HAVE A CD ROM VERSION OF LEMMINGS, IT SAYS THE ONLY SYSTEM REQUIREMENT IS WINDOWS WHEN I PUT IT IN A PROGRAM MANAGER FILE COMES UP AND SAYS THE CD ROM HAS MIXED CONTENT WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE WINDOWS TO DO WITH IT.... THE OPTIONS ARE THINGS LIKE OPEN IT USING WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER, VIEW CONTENT USING SLIDE SHOW, OPEN WITH WINDOWS TO VIEW CONTENT AS FILES. THEN I CAN VIEW FILES IE TROUBLESHOOTING , LEVELS SOUND ETC BUT I CANNOT ACTUALLY PLAY THE GAME, IS THERE A PROGRAM I NEED ON MY COMPUTER TO ENABLE ME TO RUN THESE TYPE OF CD ROM GAMES AUTOMATICALLY SO THAT I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY? IF SO WHAT IS IT CAN I DOWNLOAD IT AND WHERE DO I GET IT?

Please disengage your caps-lock key when posting. Its hard to read and is considered shouting (rude).

Hold down the left shift key when you close the drive tray (hold until the CD activity light goes out). Install software (CD or Floppy) on a Windows OS by useing the "Add/Remove Programs" applet on the Windows XP control panel. Most applications are installed by a "install.exe" or "setup.exe" file on the first disk.

Many games aren't designed to automaticly run when the media is inserted in the drive. If the files neccesary for that feature aren't included by the publisher there really isn't much you can do other than hold the left shift key when inserting the CD (hold until the CD activity light goes out), then click on a shortcut to start the application.
