If your CD drive doesn't include DVD capabilities (odd I know, but totally possible), then nothing will pop up because it can't read the disc.

Where you put the DVD in your computer, look on the front of that and tell me if there's big bold letters that actually say "DVD" on it.

Anything remotely close to that in your PC.

Moving to the Tech forum. Sounds like a question for those folks. Good luck. 
I'll leave a redirect in Oblivion, so you get two forums for one.

Yeah try putting a different DVD in and see if it reads it. Like a movie DVD or something. That can help you isolate the problem.
I don't know too much about computing and electronics but I have had some problems go away if I turn the computer off. And turn it back on. Also you could try going to the start button and clicking on the whatever drive is the DVD (it should have an icon of your game maybe?? to help you recognize it or else try clicking on a bunch of them and highlight 'properties' to make sure its a DVD...right click to get the menu with properties)
Anyhow if it doesn't pop up maybe selecting it after hitting the start button (lower left) will help. Hope I have helped and at least not been any harm G'luck.
Edit: hit 'my computer' after the start button...
Edit 2: by the way my DVD drive says its a CD drive under properties but on the 'my computer' page it says its a DVD drive (and I know its DVD)....so it may say CD and don't be too sure its not DVD.

Right Speech has four aspects: 1. Not lying, but speaking the truth, 2. Avoiding rude and coarse words, but using gentle speech beneficial to the listener, 3. Not slandering, but promoting friendliness and unity, 4. Avoiding frivolous speech, but saying only what is appropriate and beneficial.
