    The only think I can think of...if you see "DVD Rom" on the tower, then you should be able to play a DVD.

    You won't be able to play a DVD without the proper software.

    Look on the door of your CD Rom drive. If it says DVD Rom, you can play DVD's, as long as you have software.

    you don't need any special software. you only need "Windows Media Player"
