You mean it could not play what is essentially a music CD?
Or is this 'audio book' actually MP3s or something similar?

It is an audio book I purchased on a cd with tracks just like music only it
is the author reading their book.

If you can play other regular audio CDs on the computer then (or if you
cannot - that proves it even more) - and that one (the audio book) plays in
some stand-alone player (like your car or stereo CD player) <-- it's likely
a problem with your CD hardware or the CD itself - not the OS.

In short - sounds more like a hardware - not software issue.
