auto run not found

Is it a Windows CD? If the answer will be Yes, maybe Wine can help you. Windows software is not compatible to Linux.
Peter

Use Synaptic to get Wine or "sudo apt-get install Wine".
Peter

I have WINE but still having the problem

What is the problem? Did you get an error message?

yes i got a message sayin it cant find the auto run program

Have you already tried this:

sudo apt-ge install "auto run program"?

I'm not sure if it helps.
Peter

That still does not work. Thanks for the help though.. Im probably going to get rid of Ubuntu and go back to XP where I should of stayed. Ill see how things go.

Im just tired of having to talk to Tech support when I want to do the smallest and easiest of tasks and the OS wont let me.

Ubuntu is a wonderful system. It's extremely powerful and user friendly and very stable. And I guess you can play the game under XP - if you have a dual boot.

David's question #59355 helped me too - I also got the autorun error message on my MacBook Pro. Some DVDs have CD-ROM content, which would be responsible for the error message. In most cases I think you can ignore it, but if I ever get interested in DVD CD-ROM content I might install WINE myself. Thanks for the tip!

lol, ok that's in the order of my hunting. The middle one might be good but probably the 3rd one has teh key to getting it to work in Wine. Remember "Wine Is Not an Emulator" instead of sitting on top of Ubuntu Wine manages to be alongside it so stuff is incredibly much faster under Wine than under traditional emulators

Good luck with this

lol, i'm sure you've spent years getting used to Windows and i agree with you that Linux should be fully understandable within moments, even though Windows wasn't. It looks like you couldn't be bothered to explore any of the ideas that people kindly suggested as without knowing anything of what you were talking about i found the answers in about 3 minutes - less time than a "security update" in Windows. Good luck with all the security patches and updates and reboots and service packs and expense and lack of support and all the virus scares that Windows offers. Definitely a much easier system to use!

If you want to run Windows games, why are you running Ubuntu? That's like putting a Playstation disc in a Wii and complaining that it doesn't work.

Yes, some Windows games can be coerced to work under Wine, but it's not the way they're meant to be used, so it's not going to be easy.

*lol

Hmmm, i think we should go and hassle Games Intry to write games that use OpenGL so that they are cross-platform. I might actually go out and start buying games again then. I know quite a few other ex-gamers too ...

Has anyone tried OpenGl4 yet?

LOL>> I tried to get the games to run with WINE and researched the forums and found loads of use full info yet none of it helped me in any way.
Yes your totally rite, UBUNTU is cool looking and easy to use.. IN SOME WAYS! lol .. I am used to windows and yes all Microsoft products are is a GIANT rip off to anyone who uses it.. I TOTALLY wish I could have got Ubuntu to do what I needed in a easier way( Im not real tech savy being part of the problem) lol . I love the way Ubuntu looks and reacts to the user and dont get me wrong I think its great the its open software and Im in no way ( knocking ) what everyone has done or doing. I love the concept! Just cant do what I want and need to do with it thats all.

@Endolith
Getting Windows games to work in Wine does not require much coercion at all anymore, as long as the game is not too new, which CS:S is not.

@peter
Instead of trying to install CS:S off of the disk, just download and install Steam, then activate CS:S using the CD key that came with your disk. Steam will automatically download and install CS:S for you, bypassing the autorun issue completely.

Whoops, that should say @David, not @peter.

"Getting Windows games to work in Wine does not require much coercion at all anymore"

Does it install flawlessly just by double-clicking on the installer program, like it does in Windows?

Sorry i got heated there.

I think dual-boot is definitely the best way. I haven't been into Windows for ages at home but games and multimedia still aren't well supported in Linux. Luckily Totem is good enough for me. Zoom Player was sooo much better but i can happily do without. Also i am lucky to be quite hooked on Glest and Wesnoth and haven't even tried the native fps' in linux yet.

Hardware manufacturers (such as Nvidia) and the Games Industry amaze me with their blatant hypocrisy. They seem dedicated to avoiding developing OpenSource preferring to develop stuff on Windows-specific platforms and then complain that their stuff can't be ported to Mac and Linux! We know there's very little they'd have to do but they seem to think it's too much effort to release product specs or include OpenGL. I think we should pester them politely

Anyway. Dual-boots definitely saved my Windows and its also helped my Ubuntu too.

Regards and respect to all, especially those i was quick to judge harshly
Good luck and have fun, Tom :)

@Endolith
It really depends on the game, but usually, yes.
