I just installed a cd rom called print perfect gold.
I can look it up under "My computer" but I cannot get it so I can access the program and fully use it. Can someone help?
Thanks,
Rachel

Are you running XP?
When you say "installed a CD", are you sure that you installed the program? Or, might you have just copied the files?
You should have seen the "install wizard' windows come up, and accepted a bunch of default suggestions for file locations, etc.
When you first put the CD into the drive, you should have waited to see if "AutoRun" would start that wizard. Sometimes it takes a few minutes. But it might not have done that if you don't have "Autorun" chosen.
So, what do you do now? Well, if you can see the files on "My Computer", verify that they are on the CD only, and not also on the C: drive. If they're on the C: drive, recycle them.
Explore to the CD drive, look for a file called "setup.exe" You might want to change the "view" of the explorer window to "List", or "Details" so you can see the files' extensions. The " .exe".
Double-click that "setup.exe" file and wait for the Install Wizard to run. When it starts, it may tell you that some file is already on your computer. Overwrite - or "replace all" if you have the option.
Read carefully each window in the wizard. Accept all default suggestions, like where to put the files, etc. It may ask you if you want to put an icon on the sesktop. Do.
Let me know how it goes.

check the properties of your cd-rom , to see what the computer can open the cd with or use the RUN program in the start menu

you will have to unzip all the files first...
