2 prerequisites need fullfilling before you can play DVD's in XP.

1) You need a DVD drive, CD Rom drives cannot read DVD discs
2) You need DVD playback software such as WinDVD or PowerDVD. It is not
built in to XP. Once you install one of these program, they enable Windows
Media Player for DVD playback also.
