My xp box at some point stopped reading dvd's, but will read cds.

I tried different drives, cables, and motherboard ide slots-same result-inserting 
a dvd freezes explorer if you try to open it but cd's read fine.

I presume its a software issue. Tried reloading the drivers by deleting the device 
and uninstall nero, also a registry fix with upper and lower somethings I found multiple 
places... 

wtf? Any help greately appreciated.
