Open XP's "Help and Support" and type: DVD , and hit enter.
Click on the topic titled: "DVD Troubleshooting".

Try reinstalling your DVD decoder. If you don't have one, you'll
need to purchase and install one. Some suggestions:

| I'm running XP Pro and just installed an older model
| Creative 5X DVDROM. Windows recognises it, auto loads the
| driver and even displays the correct devise name, however
| it does not operate as a dvdrom, it doesn't even
| recognise a DVD when I put one in. The Creative website
| recommends the windows driver and doesn't offer a
| downloadable driver. how do I get this thing working?
