The machine is a Gateway running Windows XP. I would never run XP or
a notebook; this is my mom's :D

I put DVDs into the DVD-ROM drive and close the door. I try to run the
DVD using media player, and a message pops up saying, "Cannot play
this DVD because a compatible decoder is not installed on your
computer."

Shouldn't the drive know how to play DVDs without any external
software? What does this mean and how can I get it to work?

Thanks,
Dos-Man
