One possibility I could think of is compatibility. If you say the CD with Click'N'Design is from 2001, then it's most likely no compatible with the version of Windows installed in your PC.
You have two choices:
Install a virtual machine with an operating system that you know it worked (Windows XP is recommended). You can use Virtualbox for this procedure.
Use an alternative application that provides the same or similar features like Click'N'Design did.
