Either your scratching your CDs or the CD drive is screwed up. Use a CD drive emulator like GameDrive so you don't have to put in the CD every time you play a game.

Has the drive letter of your cd changed since you installed the games???

You can set this to always use a higher letter like M from the CD properties.
