1. Are you trying to
install from a disk or download from the web?

3. If you want
to set XP to auto play, use Windows Explorer (right click START > Explore) Expand "My Computer"
Right click the CD drive and select "Properties". Second tab is "Auto Play" . tick the first radio button "Select an action to perform", and click "Play" (etc).

4. Use Windows Explorer (or My Computer) and
navigate to the CD drive, usually "D:\". Double click on it and look for setup.exe and double click on that.

6. Something you might want to keep in mind
If you let others plug USB memory sticks into your computer, you might want to re-disable autorun after you're done with your CD. An autorun exploit is one of the attack vectors for the Conficker virus.
