Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to the Microsoft Windows Community.

Good evening, @Jimmy Pierre . Not every CD-ROM program is compatible with modern editions of Windows—especially if it uses a built-in player on the disc. You can try the following:

1. Open the CD-ROM in File Explorer.

2. Browse the folders to locate the program you want to run.

3. Find the executable file, right-click it, and select Properties > Compatibility. Then, select a version of Windows where the program used to work (e.g., "Windows XP"), click Apply, and then OK.

Good luck, and please let us know the result.
