Hello friends.
First sorry for my limited English.

Well, I have a question. A friend have lost all the connection icons. (I
think may be a virus). When I was trying to create a new connection, I inserted the cd but the drive cannot read it. The drive can read other cds. It is a usb adsl kit, windows xp, and the manufacturer is "telefonica" (telephone company in Spain). I think that it is NECESARY use "add new hardware" and the cd may be prepared for not be able to be read directly from "my system" "unit"???

I hope you understand my question (I'm not sure to explain well)
thanks.

Right click on the CD-ROM drive in Explorer, click Explore, and double click on a file named setup.exe or similar, and see if that works.

Thanks for your answer. At this moment I can't try it, because my friend brought the computer to a technician. The computer had four (4) viruses. Anyway I'll tell him your advice. Thanks, ski.
