  Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question.

  We need to gather more information about this problem to help you better:

  3. were there any changes made to the computer before the question?

  Try these steps and check:

  The downloaded file may be corrupted or not would not have been properly downloaded. Try to download the program once more and check.

• Cannot install the CD software, AutoPlay does not, can not see .exe files in windows Explorer

  I tried to load the software for a Microsoft mouse that I bought. When I loaded the CD in the drive, the Setup program did not start. When I looked at the content of the CD, it wasn't a setup.exe file. Tonight I tried to load TurboTax, and I'm having the same problem. I put the disc in a XP machine, the installation program starts right up and I see the installation files in Windows Explorer. I can't install it to work on my Vista computer.  When I right click on the drive, I don't get the option to install or run the program. It's as if she's even not recognize that there is a facility on the disk. I'm running Vista SP1 small business. I also downloaded windows a 4.5. No change. Help!

  Well, I am the furthest thing from a computer Wizard but I came across the solution to my problem and kklinger.  I recommend removing a program called "Xplay" from Mediafour.  There seems to be a MAC program and is the reason that the autorun is not complete.  Try this: 1. go to start, then Control Panel
  2. open "programs and features".
  3. scroll through the programs and see if you have the XPLAY under the title editor MACROVISION
  4 right click once a program to highlight, and then click "Uninstall/change" upward.
  5. (you may get a pop-up asking if it's OK continue.)  If so, click on "Allow")
  6. once the program is removed, you will need to restart your computer.

  It worked for me.  Good luck.
