Please help I'm somewhat computer illiterate!!!?

Ok it may sound silly to you but could you please explain to me how to view a DVD disk that has pics stored on it on my computer? I've tried using windows media and it won't do anything. Whenever I insert the disk all I see is the cursor changes to a disk but that's all it does. My computer is installed with windows XP. Please help. Thanks in advance.....

    This may sound like a silly answer but does your computer play dvds? It may be old enough that it only has a cd reader/burner.
