It's true you need a codec or get Cyberlink's powerDVD or VLC player. Refer to the link, also since you reinstalled all your driver are out of date including the decoder and updates for WMP update everything!!

Short of more info, its hard to say but you will need to install windows media player 9 or newer and install a dvd playing program called Power DVD or one like it.

You don't have a CODEC for DVD. You can probably get a free one if you go to Google and type in: Free CODECs. Pick a site.
