Which model DVD is it? Check the HCL(hardware compatability list) from this link>>>>

I checked a few on the Toshiba site and they were all supported by the native Windows drivers. Have you tried the "driver rollback" feature? How about un then re-installing it and letting windows find it again? Have you checked the device manager in "safe" mode? Make sure in the views menu of the device manager that you have "show hidden devices" checked off. WindowsXP likes to hide faulty devices from you for some reason.
After that I would check my video card and sound card drivers and make sure they are up to date. Also run "dxdiag"(no quotes) from the run line and run all its tests for video and audio,perhaps it will flag somthing.
I'm no DVD whiz but at least thats somewhere to start for now

Another test...

XP still comes with Media Player 6.4, but there is no shortcut link. Go to the C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player directory, right-click on mplayer2.exe and choose create shortcut.

You can plays DVD's with it with this registry hack.

Go to Start>Run, type regedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Player\Settings

Right-click on the Settings key and choose New>String Value. Name that string EnableDVDUI. For the value, use yes.

You'll now have OpenDVD under the File menu.

Does this work?
