Did any software come with the drive itself?

Make sure all the cables are plugged in properly. Also, when you put a DVD in the drive try using the 'open' option rather than double clicking the icon. Finally, try a range of DVDs and not just the one. You could also try using another OS like XP or Linux just to double check if it's the drive or Win7.

Good luck

Have you tried both DVD+R's and DVD-R's?

Are you sure you have DVD watching software? I assume your just trying to watch a dvd right? IF your trying to burn and your getting this problem, maybe the lense is dirty?

Whats the difference Between DVD-R DVD+R? I'm not very familiar with DVDs.

It plays CD's But no DVD's or DVDROM (Games) It Plays AOE3 and Modern Warfare But not GTA4 or movies.

DVD+R and DVD-R are actually very similar and both can only be written on once; however +R is not compatible with -R as DVD-R is the earlier standard. So, if your drive is DVD-R and you're trying to get it to read DVD+R, it could be your problem...
