    I'm trying to install a game, but auto-play keeps trying to open it as a web page

    I'm trying to install a game (condemned, crinminal origins), but everytime I try to initiate the installlating, either through auto-play or going into my dvd drive in "my computer" it opens up a window that says that the program could not access the web-page... The game doesn't even require an internet connection for installation and even if it did, i'm connected.

    Does anybody have any ideas as to how I might get around this and get the game installed?

    open my computer - find the dvd drive.

    right click instead of double clicking, select "explore" (or similar - might say "browse" or something - the point is you will want to view the files on the disc)

    find setup.exe or similar, double click on that file.
