It's not likely a driver issue - those are part of Windows (and you imply it was working at one time)

it worked a long time ago, like maybe 3 years ago. What do you think the problem could be if it's not the driver?

What makes you think it is a driver issue? You didn't need to install one in the first place in order for it to work, yet now you believe one is needed?
Possibly the drive is dirty or has failed, or it's one of those "Windows issues" - - I'd suggest posting in the Windows XP forum or General Hardware - just describe the problem, including any error messages that may occur when you attempt to read a DVD, and whether or not there are any warnings about the drive in Device Manager
