This should be just as simple as inserting the DVD. A menu should pop up prompting you with the buttons of a DVD player. This of course is only if you computer has the appropriate software and drive for this to occur. If it is set up for this and it is not playing it could be that you are putting in a BluRay and not a regular DVD. Not all can play both.

I got a lap dell that dont play should how can i get that installed for free striaght to my laptop

Don't play what? Games? Movies? If you mean movies, you can try Artisan DVD player. This will only play DVD movies if your laptop has a DVD-rom. If you only have a cd-rom, no software will help you play a DVD movie. You can get the software free here:

My dell laptop inspiron 1525 wont play dvd's, but it will play cd's.. i have windows vista

Two things to check: First, look on the tray edge - does it say DVD and CD, or just CD? If it does not say DVD,it will not play them. The second thing is you may not have software to play a DVD. Usually Windows will use media player, assuming you have a dvd player. You can also open "my computer" and the drive will show up as a DVD or just CD.
