Download a new driver for it. You may need a DVD player proggie. I would find the drive install disks, and reinstall the drive, and all the software that came with it.

Yes, reload the drivers for this optical drive. Also, if it is a combination drive - meaning it can also read CDs - try a music CD in it.
You may also want to reload your CD and DVD reading software - just to be sure.
However, it is possible that the drive still plays CDs and will no longer play DVDs. These drives do read each differently.

Tony re-install your DVD Drivers and try again or disconnect your drive and un-install the drivers. start up your PC. once started turn it off. now replace your DVD Drive or re-connect your DVD I ment. Windows will find the DVD and ask for Drivers. rest you know
