CD-ROMS dont work on my computer?

I'm not a computer person, so try to dumb your answer down as much as possible.

Heres my problem:

I can play CDs just fine on my computer. But I cant play CD-ROMs. Like videogames on CDs. When i put in a CD, itunes pops up just fine. But when i put in a cd-rom, nothing happens and my computer acts like nothings there. What is going on??

Its unusual that DVDs artwork and not CDs, however. in many circumstances it could be any incorrect way around because of DVDs being lots extra complicated archives discs. sturdy success!
