There are no 3rd party drivers required - XP comes with the drivers.
You may have a 'filters' issue or a bad dvd lamp.
For filters, follow the procedure detailed here;

Welcome to Windrivers dap106
You may have lost the DVD playing software - windvd or powerdvd are usually supplied with a computer...
When you put your dvd in, do you expect that the dvd automatically starts playing?
If you go into my computer, and right click on the dvd (with a dvd movie in the drive) and click explore, do you see a couple of folders? Video_TS being one of them?
If so, your dvd drive is ok, you just lost the playing software.
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

You know, if I had checked the model number you provide for us, it would have saved alot of time. You have a CD drive, it has no DVD capabilities.
You should buy a DVD drive (it will also play CDs) and get one that comes with burning software and movie playing software - the retail packs mostly do.
