Hello all! I am not very computer savy so bare with me.......when I try to load games from CD-ROM this error message comes up:
Windows cannot find E:\Setup.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click search.
Its happening with all of the games we have! We have windows XP and all of the games we are trying are supposed to be compatible with it. PLEASE help!!!

I have a DVD/CD writer in E and just a regular CD ROM drive in F, I have tried both and neither work. I have copied all the files from the games to my hardrive and then tried to open them, says the same thing but of course doesn't say E! Did we delete something we needed somehow? It seems to be only with PC games. Weird!!!

The instructions that you have (probably ) with these games will tell you how to use them. The Setup.exe that Windows XP is looking for is a file that should be in the Game Cds. It seems to me that these games are not set to Autorun / Autoplay.

What letter is associated with ur CD drive, if you have only one Harddrive then ur CD drive is normally the D: drive
When up put the CD in does the CD drive spin up then a screen will normally come up asking you if you want to install/play.
If not go into
Mycomputer
Right click ur cd drive
Explore
Then look through the directory for the setup file, double click this and the game should start installing

Bypass autorun. Put the disk in the drive, when it automatically tries to run set up, hit the cancel button. Now go to my computer, and to E (if that's where your disk is) and double click on setup.exe from there.

I'm having the same issue, as well as several other people. The website simply indicates that your disc may be scratched, but mine is pristine. I may end up returning it for a refund until this error is resolved.

Ah! what a struggle? Anyway, go like this: Start -> Run -> Setup.exe
I am sure that will do it.
