My Dvd Drive is not showing contents of disk...?

It shows 0 bytes free of 4.38gb, but when I click on "DVD RW Drive E" the folder is empty. How do I fix this?

yeah, the disks that don't play on my computer works on my moms...I just tested it....maybe I should uninstall my dvd drive?....even though it does play other dvds....ok, something strange is going on. lol I put those 2 disks that were not working back in and they are working, but I did make some changes in my registry.
