Installation problem

Hi
I have a CDROM attached to my P III computer. CD ROM is working fine with all CDs except with few of my setup CD.. When i double click my setup file, it is not responding.. all other files are opening. The same setup file is working with other CDROM in a different machine.. when i connect another CDROM with this my machine then also it is not working. Is it a problem with my OS.. i reinstalled windows with out formatting, still the problem is there... Pls help me out..

is the cd a retail version or did you burn it with a cdrw?

I have heard of this problem and it was to do with the registry...

i'm with nwm. if the cds are burned cds, and not oem, then it's possible that it's your drive that is giving you the problem? make sense? the drive may have a problem reading burned cds. or if the cds are originals, it's conceivable that slight imperfections on them could trip your cdrom up even though other drives can read the very same disks seeemingly without trouble. the reason for this is possibly that your troubled cdrom is either of lower quality then the others, or is on its way to the next world. in other words, the laser is dying.

the same CDROM and CDs are working with other PCs. So I dont think it is the problem of the CD ROM.. Also some burned setup CDs are also working in this CDROM and PC.. Is it a problem related to my OS.. I am using windows2000.. Is it because any registry problem or corrupted files|?
pls comment
