need for speed most wanted problem

[Andromeda]

I have  the need for speed most wanted game and my son wanted to play it and when I put it in the cd drive it just wont work anymore. It used to work perfectly but now when I press play nothing happens. If I uninstall it and install it again, he will lose his blacklist and has to start over again. Any help would be appreciated.

What happened before this started?
How old is the game and CD drive?
Is the CD scratched?

Before this started the game used to work perfectly. The computer is about 3 years old, and I  bought the game last Christmas as a present and its not scratched.

Are you sure that autorun isn't disabled. It's simple, yet common mistake.
