No you dont need a program, its possible the DVD drive on the other machine is a bit flaky, try replacing it and see if it works, just because it shows up in explorer doesnt mean it can read disks properly.

An ISO file is just an image of a CD or DVD.

Could it be that the second computer just doesn't have autorun enabled?

Open up the autorun.inf file and see what it is set to execute.
