Follow the steps in the order they are listed:
1. i) Create a backup of your registry
ii) Download imgburn. It's a free program:
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
(it's also an excellent program imo)
iii) Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order. Select "Iviaspi". Click "Remove Selected filter". Select "AFS2K". Click "Remove Selected Filter". Select "CDR4_XP" Click "Remove Selected Filter". Select "pwd_2k". Click "Remove Selected Filter". Select "Cdralw2k". Click "Remove Selected Filter. Click "ok".
iv) Reboot
Keep in mind the programs that installed those filters may no longer function properly.
2. Download
Nero cd-dvd speed. It's a free program. With Anydvd running in the background, select the tab labeled "scandisc". Select the appropriate drive letter, and click "start". If Nero cd-dvd speed reports read errors, your disc is (probably) bad and needs to be exchanged--even if it plays fine (or your optical drive could be slowly dying).
