Since you legally got a copy of the game, you should have no shame going and downloading a no-dvd patch for it. Try either GameCopyWorld or GameBurnWorld (google those) and get a small .exe to replace the original. Now you wont need the DVD at all and it will play fine every time.

Virtual drives or emulatorswill preventsome games from running in the way you discribe. If you have any try turning them off.

With those No Cd fixes make sure if you patch the game to go and get the No Cd fix that corresponds to the patch.
