DVD player problem in XP

I recently made my primary OS Windows XP and I am having problems with my Pioneer 116 drive. Windows doesn't see anything wrong and it installed windows drivers without a problem, but my DVD playback is choppy and eventually comes up with an error saying the disc is scratched. I know the disc is fine and Win98 has no problems with it at all. The problem isn't strictly DVDs, when I try to install a program using the DVD drive, it quits part way thru the install and says there was a problem reading a file. I use my CDRW drive and the install goes smoothly.
I figured it had to be XP, but I don't know what to do. I have the latest Detonator Drivers from Nvidia (Geforce2 GTS), i have DirectX 8.1, i have the latest sound driver from Sound Blaster (SB Live! Value)...........
I went to the MS website and I didn't find any help there. I know my drive is good and my DVDs are good.
Is there an update or drives that I am missing?
All help is appreciated...thanks
