How can i install a computer game when it wont pop up on the computer?

My boyfriend just got a new video game (halo) and is trying to install it on his dell computer, it has windows vista if that helps. Every time he puts in the cd to download the software to play the game nothing pops up and you cant find the disc anywhere on the computer, we dont know how to figure it out. We tried google to see if there are any awnsers but none. How do we fix this??

any input helps.

If the CD is in, you can go to My Computer (either through the Start menu or on the Desktop) and right-click on the CD drive and click "Autoplay" (should be on top of the menu). That should work.



If that does not work, you have to right-click the CD drive and click "open," and search for a file called "Setup" or "Install" and double-click that.How can i install a computer game when it wont pop up on the computer?
Try this:



Start Menu, Computer, then right click on the CD drive that Halo is in. Next hit the ALT key and click on the tools button then tools. In the tools box there should be a folder tab, click on that tab. Now, clear or check mark any of these options:



View hidden files and folders

Show system files and folders

Hide the contents of system folders



It's not exact but I'm sure you get the point. Next, make a new file and call it Halo, then copy and past the contents of the disc to your desktop (or where ever you want to put them like the C: drive). Now, find the .exe or the autorun.ini file and right click it and make a shortcut.



Reset you file options and that should do it.



Good luck and happy gaming,
