Ok...throwing it out is a great start....OLD and Compaq dont make troubleshooting a joy...
In the case that you cant afford to throw it out....
Does the specs meet the requirements for the DVD
CPU memory OS....if it does get more memory...
Check the makers website (of the DVD and Compaq) is there a driver update....
Can you disable the autoplay and play it from within
