DVD-Rom doesn't work

[jocko327]

I have WinXP home on my computer. In windows 98, both of my CD-Roms worked fine (L&G DVD-Rom DRD8160 & Optorite CD-RW CW-4002). I installed XP and niether worked. I tried again, and the burner works. I have had to reinstall numerous times, because my curious mind likes to destroy things. What would cause my DVD-Rom to never work, and my CD burner to occasionally work? It reads the CD and puts the picture up for the Icon. Autoplay never works. I can explore the drive. The error I get when I double click the CD Drive says: The procedure at entry point HlapSize could not be located in the dynamic link library. What is wrong here??
