CD player will not read a certain disc.

I recently bought a game. Just today, in fact (new, not used) and put it in the disc drive. He did... some sounds as if she was trying to read it, then everything just stopped. About a month ago a few weeks ago, I bought Starcraft 2. It does the same thing. -Now, it reads the disc. I don't know when he started to read the disc that I downloaded the game online using my cd key.

But the game I bought today, has not only active. Medieval II: Total War.
Most of the discs, I found that she reads. And the whole thing of Starcraft 2, rather confused me. I, as said, don't know not when he could've started reading the SC2 disk but it is now, apparently, as I got it in my hard drive today and he was actually showing upward into the player on my computer, so I know it is the reading that now.

When I go in my computer after waiting for he can read this disc, he simply keeps the default icon. When I click on it, it tells me to insert a disc, as if there no one there already.

This is... really weird. My CD player has only started this making no doubt... a month or two ago.

Edit: I bought the battle pack, which also comes with Rome: Total War. He reads this drive very well.

It's very odd and very annoying.

    Laptop with Windows Vista cannot read data DVD discs that burned same machine.  The discs work on another computer.  My laptop will read CD disks, he did, and it will play DVD movies. What's wrong?

    Hello

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD &)
    Burn DVDs and CDs and read DVDs). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 parts to no function
    while others are doing so correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner
    could help.

    Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always
    issue.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the outside edge
    tolerances of the disks. They may be delivered, but it is usually cheaper to replace
    the reader.

    ===========================================

    This troubleshooting might not help if there are problems of alignment and wear it
    is worth it.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.
