Compact Drive ReW. 52x32x52

Hey, I've had this drive for a while and haven't used it for a couple of months. I put it into my computer and plugged it in properly. When I put a disk in it blinks a little bit then stops and doesn't start the cd. I go to My Computer and check if they cd is in the drive... it says its not. Now, I just discovered that it plays music cd's. But when I put in a video game cd, it doesnt recognize it. So wuts up? Is there a driver I have to DL and install or does this drive just play music and doesnt read game disks or installer disks?!
