This is an XP group, as its name indicates. As you're running Vista you
should repost to microsoft.public.windows.vista.games.
Old or not, non-techie or not, I'd also recommend including there a LOT more
detail (name of game, exact error messages, exactly what you do, exactly
what happens) as well as reading back over your post to see what you're
inflicting on other people before you hit Send - I found your description
abstruse. Capitalisation and punctuation will also go a long way to helping
your cause. Several other respondents in this newsgroup give good links in
their signatures for how to write a well-crafted question.

"all i wanted was some help" - well, you came to the wrong place for help
with a problem on a *Vista* machine. Why would you post to an XP group? That
puts you on the back foot straight away.
"inflicting what?" Well, as I said, your poorly-spelled out problem.
I pointed you to the right group and made some suggestions for improving
your post that would increase your chances for a speedy solution. Wouldn't
you call that help? I find your abusive reaction bizarre.
As you've really annoyed me, I'll increase your blood pressure even more by
pointing out that in your description alone:
"i hit install on I drive by accindent and everytime i insert disk i get
I/error program cannot be found and i dont know how to change it?"
"dont" -> "don't"
"...everytime i insert disk..." -> "a disk", "the disk", "my disk"...?
"quoting" an error message without speech marks
"?" at the end of a "sentence" that contains no question
Consider yourself even more lectured to.
Good luck over at the Vista group; I'll be watching with interest to see how
you handle responses there.

My, such charm and grace. I bet your conversation is a sheer aural delight.
My motivation (before it was soured by annoyance at your attitude and
language) was to assist you in getting better help if/when you re-post in an
appropriate group. You're of course free to reject such advice - or
"correction", if you defensively insist on interpreting it as such. Good
luck with life.
Not watching this thread any more due to boredom, but please go ahead and
have the last word - I'm sure it'll be a corker.
