Can't install programs from CD-Rom

I got my XPS 200 about a month ago. Whenever I try to install a program from a CD, I get the following message:
 
d:/install.exe is not a valid Win32 application
 
The DVD/CD works fine to burn DVD's and CD's, as well as playing them. The problem seems to be in the Autorun execution. I've tried with a about 10 CD's, old and new. I ran a system restore, and a Dell tech reconfigured the system registry, but nothing worked. Has anyone else had this problem?

    If you think it may be the AutoPlay function, try the Microsoft Repair Wizard .......

    Otherwise you may want to try, if you have Sonic burning software installed,
    to disable the DLA portion and try again.

    - Click the Start button
    - Double-click on the My Computer icon
    - In the My Computer window, right-click on the CD device then choose Properties
    - On the CD Drive Properties screen, click on the DLA tab, then remove the checkmark
    from Enable DLA on your drives
    - Click the OK button, then restart computer
