DVD ROM drive doesn't recognise DVDs

If I put a CD in, say a music CD or a data CD it reads those fine but when I put a DVD in it just won't reconise them!

Any idea what this could be folks?

Thanks

Are you saying that your drive can't read any DVDs or that it won't play DVD movies?
Did we help you? Did we miss the point entirely? Update your thread and let us know.

Did you try searching?

Both. If I put a DVD in you can hear the drive searching but it finds nothing. Double click on the drive in "My Computer" and it says the drive is empty.

How can I find out the make of it though, because if I go into Device Manager it's just got the generic crap: Atapi 12x DVD-ROM.

Right I'm found the floppy disk that came with this DVD player - trouble is it says "Driver for MS-DOS & Windows 3.1"
I've double clicked it but it starts asking all sorts of questions I don't know the answer to.

Looks like I've hit a wall with this situation. A search for drivers on the net showed that Delta have given up supplying drivers!
