    What do you mean it's not installing when he inserts the disk? No pop-up comes up or something? I had something like this, you have to go to My Computer and double click the game/drive path and it should start. Failing that, right click the game in the My Computer screen and click explore, then find Setup.exe or something similar and double click that. The setup process should start.

    Not sure what you mean by "is there a way to convert the windows vista x63 to 32 bit from the m17x? :confused:" but I think you want to convert the 64-bit OS to a 32-bit OS? If that is what you meant then the answer is no, you can't but there is no need to. If that isn't what you meant then can you explain what you are trying to ask a bit more?
