Playing DVDs? (2400 WinXP)
I have a Dell 2400 WinXP. When I put DVDs into my disc drive, NOTHING happens, but I'm pretty sure something SHOULD happen, especially consider my birthday was a week ago, and my mom got me the Nightmare Before Christmas Collector's Edition, which, along with 2 DVD discs, had one called "Digital Copy" and included a code, and said to play it on either iTunes or WMP. It said it was compatible with WinXP.
But I put in that DVD and any others and absolutely NOTHING happens. CDs work just fine. Programs are fine too. But DVDs do nothing.
Is there a program or setting I need to use?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Hauni:
Wow, this happened a week after your birthday?
What program do you have on your system for playing DVDs? Just so you understand, Windows Media Player cannot play DVDs without another DVD program installed on your system.
You might try VLC Media Player (link below), if you do not have anything else to play DVDs.

Hi, oscar:
The Dimension 2400 can come with any type of drive. Dell does not ship all systems of a particular model with only one model drive.
Hope that helps.
