I had the same problem when I put a new H/D in. My old H/D came installed with xp home and Power DVD. I did a clean install with supplied support disc for XP home but didn't realise that windows media does'nt have a DVD decoder and when I tried to play a dvd I got same error message. Cant Source etc... As I'm a bit of a duffer 
It took me a few hrs to realise I had to install the supplied Power DVD disc. When I installed this disc it obviously supplied the decoder and my DVD player worked... 
Cor!!! I did it all on me own......

I did it all on me own...... yep thanks for that imfo ..confidentincompetent./ but as eggplant says , its not getting as far as reading the dvd ,
message is. WINDOWS CANNOT READ THIS DISC.
THE DISC MIGHT BE CORRUPTED. OR IT COULD BE USING A FORMAT THAT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS.
we did try other disc,s by the way./
is that the same message you were getting ? regards. r.r.

Yep I was getting the same message with a link to microsoft (it was sometime ago now) which sort of scanned my computer (or something like that) and the result said my p/c needed a DVD codec.
I'm no techie ( as u might have guessed
) so I dont really understand the reply that it's not getting as far as needing the codec. All i can say is when I Installed the supplied power dvd program CD, it worked. Erm just out of curiosity has the problem p/c got any DVD software installed?.Silly question but!!!
