    You should be able to play your DVD's through Windows Media Player or PowerDVD or Nero Showtime if you have these programs. Usually when you put a CD/DVD in the drive the screen comes up and asks you what you want to do and what program it should use. What kind of drive to you have, the fact that you have a Dell Inspiron comp is not enough info.

    @ryo155, this is a double post which is against Forum rules, your question is being answered in 2 threads. I have asked a moderator to close this one.

    i've closed the other 2 duplicate threads and edited the title of this one to be more meaningful.

    And i've teleported thread to a more relevant forum.

    download dvdinfopro (free) from www.dvdinfopro.com (choose the version with adverts). it can do quite a few things but for now you can use it to identify the firmware revision of your drive, then check here to see which version matches your drive and we can go from there - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1649

    sorry, my email's been playing up a lot.
    the firmware file at that link is an executable file, download and run it, make sure to read up on what's involved first, ie don't reset pc while you do the update, don't power off and make sure there's no blank disc in the drive when you do it
