I cannot play my DVDS which are essential to my work. I insert a DVD and nothing happens.

First off, we are not HP Tech Support, so we don't have access to email or phones to contact customers,

Second, you claim your PC is running XP and if that is the case, it's likely that no modern optical media is going to work because that will expect current software, and the XP optical disk software is too old to work properly anymore.
