Cannot load games

I know I should know better however i think where all entitled to a blank time in our lives. And this is my time.
I recently bought the 55 games edition. On my laptop it runs great which has XP Pro.
On my desktop I run XP home, now is there someone out there who can tell me how to reset my computer so the games runs from the disc.
Whenever the disc is run the game starts in Media Player and we all know that is not correct.
So the games do not start.
Thanks in advance

Re: Cannot load games

Close Media Player when it starts.
Open windows explorer and go to the CD drive.
Look for a start up file. It could be an exe, bat or htm file called start, default, install or something similar.
If you have the right file it will start when you double click it.
You will have to look at your autostart settings to try to get the CD to start correctly when it is inserted.
