dvd-rom wont play dvd games

I just built my first computer and for some reason the DVD rom will not read dvd based games. it will play movies no problem and it also played the windows vista install disk but that is it. I was told it might be the security on Gaming dvds that windows refuses to acknowledge but i do not know how to work around it

 

Have you try other cds as well? If still doesn't work, try uninstall the dvd drive, restart the computer and let windows install it for you.

 

it could be the region setting on the disk drive...u will have to try a cd or 2 in it to see if it plays them...as gamerbyron says...

 

What kind of games?
Like X-Box, PS2.... ect?
Or just PC games on a DVD?
