Installing from CD

Going to try this again. My system will not load any programs (in normal mode) off of my cds on either drive. In safe mode, I can attempt to load the programs but since I'm missing drivers in safe mode I can't configure the programs (SQL Server, etc). I've tried just about every piece of advice out there and nothing seems to work. The program will allow me to make a selection and then when it goes to install, it just quits.
Processes show the setup information under task manager but no application. Funny thing is that when I go to power down the system, it tries to install the program at that time which is too late. My CDRW and my DVDRW works fine otherwise. Any suggestions?

Thanks Chuck. While that wasn't a permanent fix it did allow me the chance to install some much needed programs. A big relief after 4 days and countless hours surfing websites and asking for assistance
