    Try other DVD's and see what happens. If it works then those DVD's may be bad.

    Do you have a cleaning disk for the drive? I've had a DVD-ROM fail to read a new commercial dvd but would still read some old VCD's I had made of home movies and such. A good cleaning corrected the problem.

    But . . . I've also got a seperate DVD player (surround sound) that now refuses to read dvd's, but will still play music CD's . . . cleaning didn't help in that case.

    Some more information on your system and brand/model of DVD-ROM would assist folks here in helping you troubleshoot the problem.

    The good news is that whatever the problem - DVD-ROM drives are getting pretty cheap, and they are easy to replace. Most operating systems from Win98SE on will auto-recognize a new drive - there is little or no software tweaking you need to do. Help is here if it should come to that.
