Try clicking My Computer, and then double-clicking your CD drive. If there is an autostart function on the CD, it will appear. If not, the window will change to display the contents of the CD itself. If you're installing something, look for a file called install.exe or setup.exe, and double-click it. That should start the installation program.

It seems the CD is not configured to auto run. Open your windows explorer and browse the CD. Locate the directory that has the SETUP.EXE then double click it.

sometimes if you have a dicky cd you can freeze it then it will work for a limited amount of time. Enough time for you to extract what information you need. Its worth giving a go. It has worked for me.
