Make sure you have a DVD drive. It will say on the front of the drawer.

Re: This may be a dumb question but..
If you do, download VLC and open the DVD with that.

Re: This may be a dumb question but..
You must be using a program to play them it right? Or do you mean it won't load them as in you don't have a program to play them?

He asked what program you were trying to play them with, not whether the said program is able to play them. People are SO unwilling to help people help them.
What kind of dvd player is it, what kind of video card is it, what kind of computer is it (if it was built by a company), what version of windows did you uninstall, what version did you reinstall? I'm sure I can think of more questions that you're not answering. Be helpful and you'll get help.

Re: This may be a dumb question but..
If the drive came with computer, go to the computers manufacturer's website and click on a support/downloads link, from there, see if you can look up your computers model number and download and install the drivers for the DVD drive.
If you installed it, try to find a CD that came with it to reinstall drivers for it, or go to the drive manufacturer's website and do the above.
It sounds like it came stock though, so try the first one.
