My CD drive takes too long to read CD's.

Go to Control Panel-System Settings-Performance-CDROM and make sure you have it set for quad speed or higher and that the Supplemental Cache size is at it's largest. If you can you might want to increase the cache size. It may be insufficient for the games you are playing.

Then clear up some disk space by deleting excess crap. Run Scandisk and then defrag.

Hope this helps.
