need help with .exe file on cd "pete1" <ggoose[ at ]nospamprodigy.net> 12/6/2008 8:46:27 PM I posted this on another newsgroup and didn't get any help , anyone with any ideas where to look next I use an older program (Sierra's Print Artist 3.0 ) in Windows XP. It has worked fine for 3 years. Now it won't open. I uninstalled it and now it won't reinstall. If I click on the setup.exe file on the cd all I get is an hourglass flash. note: I can't double click on the cd rom to see the disk , I have to right click , open to view files and only with this program. I've tried 2 different cd drives. I tried installing it in "safe mode " also. I did get it to install into another computer though so the disc is ok. , but I need it in this one. Everything else seems to work so it is not tied to just .exe files. Could this be caused by the last windows update? Anyone with any ideas thanks Pete

Could you, perhaps, email a copy of your programme from the computer where it IS installed to yourself on the computer where you are having the difficulty? In effect, by-pass your DVD/CD drives.
