Hi and welcome to Geeks to Go. What program are you using to play dvd's? If you put in a dvd, can you open windows explorer and see the dvd in the drive? Will the drive play a music cd or a software cd or dvd?

Hey Austin_o

I have windvd 6...and no I can't see the dvd in windows explorer. Its weird it won't even read the dvd. I mean I hear the dvd spin intially then it just stops...and yes I can play music cd's and software cds just fine. and even play my old dvd movies. for example I bought this soccer dvd about four years ago and it works just fine.

Have you heard of anything like that before?

I have one more question, if somebody replies to my post will I be notified by email each time or do i have to search for this topic each time to find out if I have replies. I'm new to this forum business so I don't know

Since the drive has "disappeared" from windows explorer, it may be worth trying a registry fix from M$. Take a look at this document: http://support.micro...om/?kbid=320553 Be sure to follow all of the precautions detail by M$ when messing with the resistry.
