D: Drive not recognizing DVD Roms

Comment:

Hello. When I insert a game disk DVD Rom into my Vista PC, the computer doesn't recognize it. On My Computer it says "DVD RW Drive" where as it should say "(Game Name)". Upon double clicking, either a blank Windows Explorer window opens or, within about half a minute of entering the disc, a message opens asking you to insert a disc. It then ejects the game disk. I have tried this with many games, so I'm certain it's not them that are the problem. The PC plays CDs and DVD videos with no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
