Just before my latest uninstall, I was playing with the CD with no problems, so I can't imagine the CD is bad. I'm trying a defragmentation right now, so maybe that'll help.
Does your CD have any marks(fingerprints) smudges or scratches on the metalic looking side of it?
If it has smudges try some glass cleaner(like windex) on it and a clean soft cloth.
If it has noticable scratches it may be FUBAR.
