I have recently bought a game and it wont install. The auto-run pops up, so i click on install and it loads for about a minuite then stops and does nothing. So i tried exploring the CD, but everything freezes and locks up until i remove the CD. I could install it fine on my friends computer. I cant even copy the files from the CD to a folder on my hard drive because i cant access anything on the CD. I tried running the install exe file, and got the following message:

'D:\Setup.exe is not a valid win32 Application

I tried it in safe mode but it didnt work. every other program and game i have can be accessed with no problems, and this one is really bugging me, i cant access anything on the CD, and its not the CD being damaged or anything cos it can be used on other computers.what should i do?
