Default [Answered] Dvd-rom doesn't play dvds

My dvd-rom plays games and audio cds fine, but won't play dvds. When I put the dvd in, it sounds like it's loading, but never does. It was working fine and then it just stopped working, Anyone know whats wrong?

Do your games auto-run or do you have to click on a shortcut to get them to startup?

ok lets try this first.... Right click my computer.. Click on manage... Then click on Device manager.. Find your dvd/drive and right click on it and click uniinstall, and reboot. Lets see if windows can fix the problem by itself first..

It could also be a dirty lens. There are 2 lences in there , one for cd and an for dvd so if one is dirty then the other could still work.
You could try a dvd cleaning kit.
