Disappearing programme

I installed a touch typing course about 2 weeks ago. And although the start-up icon is on the desktop, and the disc is in the compter, it still tells me that the disc is not there and can't start -up. I can't find the programme listed and therefore can't unistall it and re-install it. 
Does anyone understand what I mean and can help?

Re: Disappearing programme

Try ejecting the CD then putting it back and see if that helps. Let us know what happens.

Does sound like the CD is not being recognised. If you cannot access it via My Computer then check it does not have any smudges on the shiny side.
Try rebooting PC to see if it recognises it again. If not then you may have a duff CD or a duff CD reader.

Are you logged on as the same user as if you logon with another username the profile will be different and the program may not be there.

I am the only user of this computer.

I've tried all that to no avail.

No I can't see it listed in My Computer.

No,. That doesn't work either.
It's a real puzzle.  J

Re: Disappearing programme

Does the CD work in another PC. If so then it could be your CD drive that is faulty or just has trouble with that CD.
