Can you give some more information? You say "I only get the allow, cancel
window" is that a Windows dialog or the games?

if you insert the cd, cancel anything that pops up, use explorer to go to
the list of files on the cd, right-click on "setup.exe" (or whatever the
installer program is called) and select "run as administrator" what happens?
