Unable to Run Setup via CD-ROM

I have 3 PC's in the house, all having the same hardware and OS (Win XP Home). 2 of the 3 PC's will run programs OK, but the 3rd, my daughters, will not run 'setup' files from the CD-ROM. The CD and CD player are working OK as I can access the CD directory and files such as .doc, .txt, .jpg etc. It is only the setup file which refuses to run.

The same discs run OK in the other machines and I have even swapped around the CD drives - my daughters drive works OK in another machine.

Anyone know if my daughter could have changed a setting in windows xp which stops .exe files from running? Maybe a security setting somewhere?

Many thanks in advance

BTW, I am logged on to the duff PC as an administrator.
