Sony Vaio, now what. won't read my cd when inserted

[joevan <joevanudity@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I get only some image and or Sony stuff when I put in a CD to try to
load programs or pictures. Is Sony blocking my CD somehow. It seems
every system has its little secrets or whatever. 
When my office disk is in the CD drive all I see is Sony stuff. 
Anybody know what is going on here or am I seeing things. 
Please help if you know what I mean. My daughter needs some progies on
her machine and I am being stymied.
