Can you play audio CDs in that drive? This is to determine if the drive
hardware is functioning.

Many software publishers produce disks that don't comply with industry
standards in an effort to reduce the loss of sales that results from
people copying the disks. Unfortunately that practice makes the disks
incompatible with a few models of CD drives.

Contamination and damage to the bottom of optical media can interfere
with operation. In addition to cleaning the disk, some music and
software retailers sell kits that allow consumers to repair minor
scratches in optical media.

Nobody will be able to help much more unless you provide some
information about you Operating System (OS) version, if your drive is
also a DVD reader or CD burner, the name of the game and the game's
hardware and OS requirements/suggestions.

It's starting to look like your drive is having hardware problems. Start
saving up for a replacement.
