Well here is my problem, when I insert the CD it starts up the auto run. I click on install and as my computer starts to read the disk an error pops up, it reads, Application Error SETUP caused a General Protection Fault in module SETUP.

Well here is my problem, when I insert the CD it starts up the auto run. I click on install and as my computer starts to read the disk an error pops up, it reads,
Application Error
"SETUP caused a General Protection Fault in module SETUP.EXE at 0001:2047.
choose close. SETUP will close."
 
Now I have run a windows xp home edition and I know enough about computers that I'm more than certain its cause the game is to old and the computer is just to new. However, my question is does anyone here know how to fix this problem?
 
Edit: also this is not just a bad game this error happens with just about any older game I try to install on my computer.

Try starting the installer in compatibility mode.
 
Right click the setup.exe and select properties, then
compatibility tab.
