- Your DVD drive is broken
- Always use the latest disc version. That means the one that was released last
- Clean the disc and try if another Computer can read it.
- Make sure your DVD drive is working by trying another disc
- Buy the game
- Disable or uninstall any CD-Emulations software on your system
