ok is this a CD? for the game given you troubles?
and items on the Cd can't be read?

you may have to re-instill the game again, and wipe the Cd clean and take a good look see if there any crack running throught it, best under a lamp and tilt the Cd side to side look at it. if there any hair line cracks you see them. or if the Cd is badly damage you need to buy a new one or the MFG of the game some time replace the game cd free, you may have to pay for S/H for the replacement.

sounds like a bad instill is all

clean instill.
1.) unstill it
2.) then deleted the game folder were it was instill.
3.) restart system.
4.) back on desktop you can now instill the game.
5.) after you instill it check for updates.

you should be good
