I have a Sky broadband CD in order to set up wireless broadband at home, but when I put it into the Mac, it doesn't open up automatically. When I double click the CD icon on the desktop, for some strange reason Entourage opens a new email and attaches the icon! Can anybody help please?

That sounds very, very strange, and I really can't imagine what might be happening.

Could you possibly supply a screenshot of what exactly you are clicking on?

I know - very odd! I presume you mean a screenshot of the icon of Sky broadband CD? How do I take and attach a screen shot please?

Most importantly-I wouldn't worry about this at all! Software setup CDs are usually for Windows computers. You absolutely don't need this for your Mac.
