Have you set the DVD Region for your country? See
US=Region 1, UK = Region 2 etc.
To set it, select Properties of the DVD drive, select Hardware, Properties, click on Region tab and select your country from the list.

Hi! The recommendations by Mr. Hutchinson are very good, however, there's another media player that usually doesn't need any third-party codecs and is compatible with all OS's. try VLC Media PLayer (www.videolan.org/vlc)
This is an Open-Source media player (absolutely free/and no spywares or catches)

Ok, lets start from scratch
* I never asked, can you play other dvd's? If there's a particular dvd causing problem can you play it on some other dvd rive?
if the answer for the above question's are no and yes, then try cleaning the drive and the dvd, otherwise follow through.
- I would suggest you uninstall the drivers for the drive.
- Shutdown PC, unplug the drive
- restart the computer
- If you have a 2 IDE ports on your motherboard. Try plugging it in the second one (with proper jumper setting)
- Now restart computer and let windows find your drive.
- Update the firmware if you can find one
I am kinda blind when I can't see what I'm troubleshooting and right now my sixth sense's not helping either :P
so, hope this leads you to a solution
