Are you sure you have a dvd reader  or just a cd drive???

Your cd drive has failed. Replace it.\n\nBest looking at DVD +- RW's as they are proving more stable than CD writers.

If the drive is old, it could be that it is broken.  A different laser is used for CDs and DVDs, so this is an indicator that the drive could be broken.  To double check, insert a computer CD (not dvd).  If this is read, you have a software configuration problem.  If it is not read, I think you have a dodgy cd/dvd drive

if there is a dvd in the computer there should have been software to play it if you have the discs that came with it look and see if its there if not go download one

There is either something wrong with your burner or its possible that the cd or dvd has copywrite stuff added to them so that you cant download it right. They do that to protect the copywrite material.

Wow, that's a strange one. You say that every other DVD you own/rent works just fine in your machine, eh? Sounds like some sort of copy protection deal going on. Is this perhaps a new release DVD (probably from Sony Pictures)? If so, there may be a CSS on there that will not allow the disc to play on a PC (supposedly to eliminate piracy, but really just aggravating to those of us that are gravitating towards media centers).\n\nTry a Copy Protection removal tool (I wish I could tell you the name of one. You'll just have to google it yourself) and see if that works. If not, call the manufacturer of the disc.\n\nSorry I couldn't help any more than this but I've never encountered this problem before.....

Yep, you need 3rd party software to play DVD's in WinXP.  You need to be a lot more specific with what you mean by "not working."

does your dvd can read these formats. If it does then you need to load the drivers agin for the dvd drive. fist remove the device and add it back again.

Look under utilities on your HD and then go to the print utility.  I am not sure all systems have one but thats what I do on my iMac.

Looks like you need a new dvd drive.  It should play with not a problem.\n\nOh, wait.  Did your computer come with OSX?  If not, and you upgraded, then you could need either more Ram, or a faster processor.  You can replace the ram, but most macs can't have their processor upgraded.\n\nTo find out better info, go to MacOSXHints.com ( i think that's it.  it's been a while.)  They have loads of mac genius' that can help.

You need a DVD copier software. I use DVDX copy which has been great for me till now. You can do a search in yahoo to download the software.

Usually has something to do with your DVD decoder.  Try reinstalling your DVD player software.

easiest way to see if this is a hardware problem is to test if the cd will play outside the windows enviroment\n\nif you have a recovery cd - try putting the cd in the drive and the rebooting - if the cd is recognised your optical drive is fine and it must be you settings in windows \n(if it goes through to the recovery obviously DON'T recover)\n\nif you do not have a startup CD - ask a friend if they have one - or visit packardbell.com and download a generic startup ot bootup cd - do the same as above \n\nif it does not recognise the cd you have a obvious hardware problem

Aw crap, I know this one.\n\nCheck if your copier has a USB cable with it. Plug one end in to the copier, and the other end in to the computer. Your computer should say that it's detected new hardware. Hopefully, there will be a CD with it. Put that in the disk drive and a Set Up wizard should appear (if not, click on start, my computer, D: (default) and run). Follow the instructions on the wizard and there will be a manual in one of the "Read Me" files.\n\nReally, once the USB cable is connected, it should do pretty much everything else by itself, or tell you what you need to do.\n\nHope that helps. My printer/scanner didn't have a USB cable when I got it, so I had to buy one. If you also have to buy one, make sure you know exactly which one you need 'cause there's loads of different types.
