If they worked previously and no longer work what changes have been made to the Note Book?

If you have reinstalled the OS I would say the easy thing is that you have yet to add the required Codecs that are required by whatever it is you are using to play the DVD's.

You can always start with the fairly generic XP Codec Pack available free here
