Hi everyone and HELP! Please HELP me If you are able.
"I'm an American and a total computer idiot as well. How are you suppose to load software with just a DVD player? I've never even seen one, single, solitary computer "IN MY LIFE" that only plays DVD's! They're all as mentioned above,....CD/DVD RW's.. I've got Windows XP and never run into this. Did I get screwed on this one? It's okay. Be honest. I can take it." lol
~Peace

If you have a version of MAGIX Music Maker that is a DVD (you didn't bother to say what version you have), you need a drive on your computer capable of playing a DVD.
Many older Window XP computers only came with a CD-ROM drive.
Unfortunately, you're just babbling, so we really don't know what problem you're having.
Also, please refrain from invoking the name of a deity. Some people may not appreciate that.

DVD drive will read a DVD disc.
CD-ROM only drive will will not
A combined CD-ROM / DVD RW means it reads and writes both formats,
I suspect you don't have a DVD reader or Writer in your PC, they are filthy cheap, about £15 something like the same in dollars.
Power down, open the case
disconnect two cables
slide it out, slide in new one and re-boot - it works, just like that.
If you are buying one - take old one to the store for the same cable-pin outs (ie IDE or SATA)
You almost 100% will need an IDE drive - you can also buy them 2nsd hand for peanuts.

As for using the Deity's name - we Brits aren't so sensitive, we just help people, also Darwin was right, take that Kansas! hehe.
Merry Xmas.

Just to add:-

If your drive is connected by the same cable asthe hard drive you will have to change the jumper on the DVD drive to make it a slave. Plenty of instructions on the Internet.
Don't bother buying 2nd hand new drives are so cheap especially in the US.
Merry Christmas to everyone.

Mainly true, true,possibly. But it is a fact that these sort of remarks/Brit sense of humour may not be appreciated by everyone. Therefore are best left out of posts.
