It may not be compatible with your OS if it's really that old.

Tried compatibility mode (not sure if this is your kind of problem)?
Googled "emulate DOS on Windows" and found the first site:

Yeah dosbox aint any good if its a windows game.
Garfield, from your PM I gather now that you can't even install the game.
2 possibilities, your optical drive is playing up, or the disc itself has had enough. It not uncommon for CD's to pack up after a while, especially if they are this old. Burnt discs get a weaker 'image' over time, and even factory pressed discs don't last forever.
Thats not counting any scratches/smears that may be present
