Retail version of game - or a burned "copy" (borrowed)? Could be copy
protection kicking in.

No, this is a retail version newly purchased. Works when tested on a
different PC1

Maybe your autorun is not functioning. Try My Computer | Open your CD drive.
Run setup from there.

Have the same problem with a Samsung DVD burner. With some games the
copy protection prevents some DVD burners from even reading the disk.
I also have a game installed from an old DVD player, after installing
my DVD burner, I cannot play this game.
