The Sims installation issues

[Xandler]

I'm having trouble installing the original Sims game onto my windows xp system, I've tried disabling the virus protection I have through services.msc as well as disabling them in msconfig but to no avail. The problem is that after I double-click the setup file on the cd drive it acts like it's going to run then nothing, but when I go to restart or shut down the computer the installation runs, just wondering if there are any ways to fix this problem.
