You need to download and install Media Player Classic from here:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Media_Player_Classic.htm
You can play the DVD once you have this installed. If you continue to have problems, use the same site above to find a complete codec install pack for your version of Windows. The one that I commonly use does not support Windows ME unfortunately....

go to yahoo search and look for dvd codec packs once on a site just click download. Also try to update or upgrade your media player to version 11. this should be free dont grt conned by some sites that will charge for a codec pack

Go to the windows upgrade sight and see if there is a more recent version of media player. The upgrade sight should already be in your windows programs.

Nero Showtime http://www.nero.com
VLC player http://www.videolan.org/vlc
Good luck.
