If the info posted so far hasn't solved your problem , I've a couple of other questions - have you tried to play more than 1 DVD ideally from different zones [ ref Prescott] ? Has the DVD drive ever played DVD's ie has this just happened or is it the first time you've tried to play a DVD ? A few details about the DVD you're trying to play would be helpful - is it a commercial / zoned DVD or a backup from a mate ?
I would try uninstalling WinDVD , rebooting , re-install WinDVD , rebooting then seeing what happens . If the DVD drive works fine as a CD drive that's interesting , perhaps points more to a software vs hardware problem .
Post back your progress ....

Or did the region thing popup when u put a DVD in to play it?? So u could change it to Zone 4 or whatever?
