Error Decompressing Data! Corrupted Installer?

So something weird is going on.

I installed Sam and Max Season 1 on my laptop only to discover that it wasn't running well because its an old laptop. I changed computers but the disc was no longer autorunning and it was saying Error
"Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed."

So then I opened it through explorer and started the setup manually. But the install won't finish and I get the "Error Decompressing Data! Corrupted Installer?" message. It craps out at Extract SamandMax102.exe 18%.

It worked once and it looks like it would work on my roommates computer the autorun function worked fine on his. What is going on?

    Can you try coping the Installer to the desktop and then run the installer? You'll need a total of 2GB free in order to do the installation this way, but it should sidestep the skipping issues your CD/DVD drive is having.

    Once everything is working and installed, you can delete the installer file.

    Well I got it installed, but now its saying I need to insert the original CD. Since this is the original CD, I'm kinda at a loss now.

    Looks like your disk drive needs a firmware update. If you tell me the make & model of the laptop computer, and the make/model of the CD drive itself, I can point you in the right direction on where to get any updates.

    To find your CD/DVD Drive make and model:
    1) Locate the 'My Computer' icon. This icon will be located either on your desktop, or in the Start menu.
    2) Right-Click on the 'My Computer' icon and select 'Manage'.
    3) On the left-side of the 'Computer Management' window, click on 'Device Manager'.
    4) On the right-side of the window, you will find a number of objects attached to your computer. Find the 'DVD/CD-ROM drives' section and click on the + sign next to it.
    5) A list of all the DVD/CD-ROM drives will appear. Please list each DVD/CD-ROM drive listed.
