I am having problems trying to install
Try using Auto run instead of installing.
Due to Piracy prevention it is not possible to install our software onto your hard drive. All our products are to be run directly from the CD-ROM drive.
Simply switch on the computer and when windows has finished loading put the CD in the drive-from then on follow the on-screen instructions.
Most PC’s have Auto run activated – if not you can activate it by following these steps.
Go to the Control Panels and double click on the ‘system’ file. Click the Device Manager tab and find the CD/DVD drive. Expand it by clicking the ‘+’. Highlight the brand name of the CD and click on properties. Click the ‘Settings’ tab and make sure there is a checkbox on the ‘Auto insert notification’. Now restart the PC.
