You have to go into your BIOS ( usually DEL, F1, F2 or F10 ) and change the boot order so that your PC will boot from CD before it tries to boot from your hard drive.

As long as your CD downloaded and was recorded correctly it should work.

Good luck :)

Did you install it or are you trying to run programs from the Live CD?

What kind of programs are you trying to run?
