Old/Scratched DVD?

Can't you download the game from Steam?

Edit: you could copy the DVD content on a folder (it might read the "hard to read" file after several attempts), install it from there and play with the DVD in the drive.

Could also be the copy protection acting up

The DVD Disc is like new. I purchased it new and used it to install the game a few times and put it back to the original case/box. I look at the DVD Disc and it looks scratch free.
I am having a bad day..... I tried to login EA steam to download the game there. But WTF it say I enter the wrong password. After a few attempts and still failed. I Click forget password, enter my email. I expected to receive a password reset link. But no email came. not in the spam folder, not any where. ANy way. I went on ebay and bought a used copy for $3.75 ship. It is only DVD Disc. No code or box etc. That is fine for me because all I want is the dam software to install it.

Click to expand...

I don't know. But a used copy is on the way. Hopefully I am able to install the game.

Have you tried navigating to the DVD in Explorer, right clicking the Setup file & selecting Run as Admin?

That's what I was thinking. I would give it this a try.

Although this wasn't the problem, if someone has a scratched CD or DVD I have used CD Recovery Toolbox Free with good results. If you have a favorite CD for the car that's developed glitches, or the kids have been a little hard on a favorite DVD, it does some good things. I've saved a lot of discs just by using that utility and burning a new one. Everybody still has a 5.25" bay with a burner in it, right?

I have also accidentally been able to save some copy protected discs that way.

It can be found here http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/cd_recovery_toolbox_free.html
