Windows Media Problem

I'm having trouble playing one particular CD in windows media player. I'm trying to play the CD in question on a brand new computer with window media center xp (that application won't play this particular CD either). I've confirmed the CD in question plays in other computers and in other CD players. So it shouldn't be a skipping problem. Also, I played an alternate CD fine in windows media player. It recognizes that something is in the drive, then says drive busy, then it play it for a split second then nothing. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance.

Is the cd a "burnt" one…?

No that is the funny thing the CD isn't burnt. Also, when the cd is in the drive wmp will recognize the cd and get all the song info from online. Then when I hit play, the bar that shows what percentage of the song has elapsed moves and I hear a few seconds of music on a seemingly random interval.
