Default windows media player. Help Please.

I can't get a dvd to play on my computer. this keeps coming up "Windows Media
Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed
on your computer". What the best way to fix it?

Thanks for your help.

Its correct in displaying that,go to power dvd & install the software,or if
you have an ATI video card,a dvd decoder is free from ati,or try
downloads.com
Thier free for short trial-time or pay as needed.
