Hi ybt021, welcome to TSF.

Does it display any errors when it reaches 50%, or does it simply freeze?
It may be a damaged disc, have a look and see if you can see any scratches or smudges.
If it does appear damaged, you may be able to repair it. Some video rental stores will repair discs for a small fee, or you can purchase a kit and do it yourself (most electronic stores carry them).

Also, is this a DVD, or a CD? If it is a CD, there should be multiple discs.

you could try copying the contents of the DVD to your hard drive and installing it from there

I usually clean dvd's by running it under water for a second or too and wipe off the grime or dust with something soft like kleenex
