Hi,

I'm not so familiar with Widows XP, so I don't know what I
did for changes, but I cannot install any program from a
CD.

In the explorer I can see files contained in my CD, with
the "install.exe" file, but when I try to open it, it
doesn't happens anything.

I tried to do a system restore to a earlier date (one
month ago) and nothing happens.

Can somebody help me please.

Thanks
Patty
