I have connected an external cd-rom to my laptop.The computer recognises it.It plays music,but will not load games.

I get the error message. 'Setup.now.exe' in the corner and 'The application failed to initialize properly error 0xc0000005'

I have tried a few games,but same result.

Help!
 
Does the software you are installing happen to be a "Sold Out" title (older games resold again in new packaging)?
 
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The error 0xC0000005 is generated by an illegal "memory access violation". This can be caused by anything from faulty RAM, an incorrect/corrupt device driver, poorly written/updated software and more commonly under Windows XP Service pack 2, malware/adware installations.[/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Usually you get this error message when performing a specific task, and if that happens you need to check the corresponding 3rd party's website/support department to see if they are aware of the problem.[/font]

I have since had someone toreplace the damadged original cd-rom on the laptop and it works ok..
