how do i get the mercedes cd to work.

i have a copy of the 124 cd but i dont know how to make it work. i put it in the drive and i get several selections to choose (open using ......insert name of program here; windows media player, i tunes (i tunes for fuxsakes!!!) inter video, etc etc etc)

if i click on start, my computer, drive f etc then it runs but only some of it (images but not text) shows and it says i need a plug in. if i click on that, with netscape it takes me to a plug in finder and i have to choose one.
with IE it says i need one and i can find it on the cd.
i just want the damned thing to run so i can use it.

i tried it with netscape and with IE. i downloaded adobe and its still acting up. this is very frustrating as my car is dead right now. (300e 2.6 not starting!)

can someone please help me before i junk an otherwise great car.
TIA
