DVD Player

I purchased a new Latitude D820 last month. It's XP. I then purchased retail Vista Business & did a clean install. Everything runs fine. My only issue is I'd like to load the DVD Player application that came with the original system. I have the driver install disk that came with the new D820 XP system. My question is, I started to run the driver install disc but cancelled the disc from installing since it seemed like it was going to go through a porcess of trying to load all the orignal drivers, etc that came with the XP system. Is there a way to launch the disc & just select the DVD Player app that I assume is on the disc? I opened the disk rather than let it run & I did not see antying in any of the folders that was of any help.

    The driver install disk wont have any software like that on it, it will only have drivers.....
    You should have gotten software discs with the system aswell, one of these will have the dvd software on it
