What OS?
Uninstall it from add/remove programs, or in XP, select the "Roll back driver" button from the card's properties sheet in device mangler.
You can then install any driver version you want.

Alright, thanks, I did that and the DVDs work right now. Do I not update my driver then?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

In other words, newer is not always better, especially, it seems, with video card drivers.
I have also had issues with both Nvidia and ATI on various cards, with various driver versions.
