    How old is the computer?

    I think your computer isn't set up to play DVDs, like my old computer.

Try to download some free DVD player programs on your computer so that you don't have to deal with the annoying codec issue. You should download another video player program which can support most common codec packs. You could try Leawo Blu-ray Player which can play both Blu-ray and DVD discs.

No dvd decoders installed in windows media player?
If you are looking to play DVD files i.e. VOB files then you can play it using VLC player.

Follow the below link to download VLC player.

VLC player plays almost every file format and it does not needs any extra codec to run the files.

Here is the solution.
To play DVD video you must have DVD decoder Codec.

Download VLC player
otherwise download Trial version of Power DVD
Download Power DVD 9

DVD Codec
Windows media player will play very few DVD's on it's own. It needs to work in conjunction with a decoder. You can find a decoder, ie... Power DVD, WinVid, InterVid, etc..., at Dell's support site or filehippo.com. I use Power DVD on mine with no problems. Also, the configuration that you have will not have a noticeable or any effect on videos. They will play fine, once you have a decoder.
