See if there are updates to the program. Many programs needed updates/patches for SP2 including WinDVD from many OEM's (Dell, HP, Sony, etc.). If you have an OEM machine like that, go to their tech support website for your specific model machine and download and install the latest version of the player.

I don't know anything about tomdownload.com so you will have to make up your own mind if it is a good site. Intervideo.com is legitimate; they are the makers of WinDVD which is one of the players that someone suggested you use. I can't speak for how well Audacity works on Windows; it works fine on Linux. Sourceforge is well-respected in the open source community. If you are sure the tomdownload.com is a good site and you have scanned it with your av, set a restore point and go ahead and install the program.
