Maybe because your computer does not recognize the file extention or your laptop is picky with CDs and only accepts certain known brands of CDs.

To to My Computer, right click, go to Hardware, Device Manager and see if you really have a DVD/CD ROM drive.  My guess is you only have a CD drive, which will neither play nor burn DVDs.\n-MM

yu had a dvd player of some sort on it, now it is gone or not working, You need to install a dvd paling software like windvd or power dvd to get the dvd codec installed, and then media player 10 will play them

the problem is that you have several problems first the processer is too slow 900mhz is the minimal requirement. Second there the ram you need at lease 256 mb to opearate the drive with any degree of success. I don't believe it is possible to run a dvd-rw on the computer in question.

Make sure that all cables from the DVD-ROM drive are connected (IDE cable, power cable, and audio cable).  If the audio cable isn't attached the drive works fine for playing games and stuff, but not for listening to music/sound.

you can play DVDs if you have a DVD/CD-RW combo drive. I have not seen any DVD/CD-ROM combo drives, usually they can write CDs but not write DVDs but they can play DVDs.\n\nOr they are just saying "CD drive" when it really is a DVD-rom drive.

Sometimes using Windows Media Player can do that if the MPEG-4 or DIVx codecs aren't properly installed.\n\ntry downloading ASUS DVD PLAYER or CYBERLINK DVD PLAYER. This should fix that.

use Xilisoft DVD Ripper 4, its cheap, it can edit DVD video, change the format like DVD to VCD and much more. I have it and I'm using in it. Its a low cost program.\n\nHope it helps you too.\n\nBye.

Try:\n\nControl Panel-->Computer Management-->\nSound, video and game controllers.\n\nYour WinXP machine may show the following Codecs driver:\n- Audio Codecs.\n- Video Codecs.\n\nIf you do not see it.. you may need to install software/devices such as DVD software etc..

Make sure your drivers are updated, make sure the CD is clean, make sure the media is good, try another cd, buy a new CD.\n\nSorry, I wish I could be more help.

First, make sure you DVD drive isn't broken.  Maybe play a DVD you know has worked before.\n\nDVD decoding in a computer is a software based issue.  For example, depending on the program you are using it maybe not be able to/updated to decode the DVD properly.  Often you can purchase a plug-in DVD decoder (Sonic makes one, there are a few other) for $5-$30 dollars.

Well, this could be a dvd driver problem.\n\nIf you're using Windows XP try to restore the systema on a point check date when you didn't have this problem ...this will solve your problem, or reinstall the Windows OS in an UPDGRADE/RESTORE mode.

You do have a DVD-RW drive, right?\nif so, install the nero that comes with the drive, it is usually Nero Express, there is easy to reach options to do that.

Its not the computer, its the driver.\n\nLook on your CPU and see if you have a DVD driver. It should say DVD on it. If it just says CD-ROM then you cant burn DVDs.
