Computer laptop game disc not read does not correctly

I try to install AOE2 (Age of Empires) on my Windows 7 laptop but whenever I insert the disc it only pulls up like an audio disc rather than as a game. The disc has the date of copyright thereon of 1999, but my husband seemed to have installed his old games very well. My driver is up to date, so this isn't the issue... any ideas as to what can happen and how to fix it?

Insert the disc, close the autoplay, in the Explorer or Computor, open / explore cd drive, double-click the file installation or configuration.

If it will install is a different matter, which, according to this old thread, he used

  • Dell computer laptop starts but the screen does not light

    Hello

    I have a laptop Dell older (studio 1558) and when I used it the other day, 'static' filled monitor image and then the screen went completely black.  Now when I turn it on, it seems that the computer starts well but the screen is black.

    Get yourself an external monitor, easy solution, right? -bad.  Unfortunately when I plugged my laptop in a separate monitor, the monitor (which works fine) showed no images.

    Still, I had this laptop for a few years.  I see about being 'easy' opening and closing of the laptop.  This has been the case in recent years, however, so I don't know if something has finally given...

    I'm not the best computer savvy so sorry if I was not more detailed... any ideas, what is wrong and how do I fix?  I rather would not somewhere that make me fixed.

    You will probably get a better response if you re - post it in the forum of the laptop and mention the version of Windows, too. (This is the forum office.)

    «I have a laptop Lenovo 3000 N200 that won't start as "" Windows has no start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM "»»

    Rescue and Recovery Tools will allow me to restore the hard drive to factory settings, but I prefer to back up important data first. Rescue and recovery apparently allow backup and pays the appropriate folder / structure of files, but the "Start" option is grayed out.

  • Computer laptop Compaq could not start

    My laptop model is Compaq Presario CQ40-502AU. I used it for over 2.5 years.

    Recently, the laptop could not start from time to time. The LED flashes to keep, but the laptop does not start.

    Referring to this article:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01732674

    I preformed hard reset and manged to get the laptop starts. However, the problem after several days reappered and perform a hard reset is not enough to start the laptop. Sometimes, I need to do the hard reset many times to start the laptop.

    I recorded a video on the State of Flash of the LED.

    I don't know if it qualifies as keeps flashing indicating the problem on my adapter?

    Someone please help me on this. Thank you!

    Greetings,

    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery from the laptop. Once this is done, press in and hold the power button on the PC for a minute. Only reconnect the AC adapter and try to turn the unit back on. If this problem persists, turn off the device by pressing the power button for 8 seconds. Disconnect the power adapter and the battery. Try to start the PC again.

    If the PC starts, during the Compaq logo, press the ESC key to enter the boot menu. While in the boot menu press the diagnostic mode (should be F10) and run a diagnostics of complete systems. That should tell you which device is a failure. I hope it's nothing serious, maybe a defective battery.

    If your system seems to be stable during the startup and shutdown not randomly on its own, I would try to update the BIOS once started in Windows by downloading on:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-86224-1 & CC = US & DLC = in & LC = on & os = 4062 & Product = 3973096 & sw_lang =

    Don't forget to follow directions exactly as displayed on the HP site.

  • Computer laptop ThinkPad X4F-not not connect to internet via wifi

    I only am not computer savvy so please keep answers dummied down if possible. I used this laptop last Friday and it starts today and cannot connect to internet via wifi. No problem whatsoever before that. Checked with other computers and devices in the home and the wireless network and internet are working properly.

    Checked this notebook and the wifi is enabled (airplane mode), says its connected to the router (in the connections) but the Scrolls right and said "identification" tray icon Using the LAN works fine. Looked at the wireless card and it says device is working properly and is fully updated.

    This computer is running windows 8, which I still have a problem navigate through the.

    FOR INFO. Lenovo has solved the problem. They refreshed / reset my computer to factory settings and then flashed the video card to install a firmware update.

    It seems that this should be done before they sent me this computer three weeks ago...
