    The reason is : the kind of file, the CD has is not supported by Windows Media Player but is supported by Real Player.

    .rm files are supported by Real Player and Not by Windows Media Player

    one thing is that the cd is having a format which cannot be read by windows media player,

    and the other thing is that u should reinstall windows media player and then play the cd.

    i think it'll work

    u might be playing a kind of file with .rm or .ram extension which means it can be played only on real player
