I can't install my motherboard software

[Guest Denise]

Whenever I put my motherboard DVD in the DVD drive, nothing happens. I used

to have XP Pro x64 and it worked with that os.

 

As a matter of fact, most of my programs won't install, such as AdAware,

video programs such as BeSweet, computer programs such as Advanced Windows

Care, etc. I receive messages that a file is missing from each of the

programs that won't install. Another message that I receive says "This

problem was caused by a compatibility issue between this version of Windows

and this version of Microsoft Deprecated DLL Components."

 

And, btw, where's Add/Remove Programs that used to be in Control Panel?
