First guess, your CD/DVD drive is having problems reading discs, it may
be working ok sometimes, but not all the times.

Second guess, If you have access to another computer, try installing
your copy of the game on that system. Another possibility is the discs
aren't reading correctly. If the same problems occur, see if you can
exchange the discs for new ones. I know if you buy a copy of the game
from like Best Buy you could return the defective copies for a refund.
not many stores will let you return opened software.

Any other games exhibiting similar problems on your system? Post your
system specs here as well so we know what we're working with.
